HC Deb 25 February 1955 vol 537 cc204-5W
Mr. G. R. Strauss

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury why Professor Lawrence Gowing's appointment as Trustee to the Tate Gallery is ending in July, 1956, whereas the usual seven-year appointment would lapse in 1960.

Mr. H. Brooke

Professor Lawrence Gowing's appointment as a Trustee of the Tate Gallery is for the usual term of seven years and is due to expire on 25th July, 1960. I regret that my reply to the hon. Member for Cambridge (Mr. Hamilton Kerr) on 11th February gave the year in error as 1956.
