HC Deb 17 April 1940 vol 359 c975W
Mr. G. Strauss

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any alteration has recently been or is to be made in the Exchequer grant to the trustees of the British Museum; and whether he is satisfied that this body has sufficient funds with which adequately to carry on its work?

Sir J. Simon

I would refer the hon. Member to Class IV of the Civil Estimates for 1940, where the Estimate for the British Museum is set out in full. The answer to the second part of the Question is in the affirmative.
