HC Deb 29 November 1955 vol 546 c190W
99. Mr. M. Stewart

asked the Minister of Works whether he is aware of the restrictions on the space available for foreign, provincial, Scottish, and Irish newspapers at the British Museum Library, Colindale; and if he will assist the trustees to enlarge this accommodation.

Mr. Birch

Yes. I hope to make a start next March on an extension to the Museum's premises at Colindale which should provide sufficient space both to relieve the present congestion and to meet future requirements.
