HC Deb 18 July 1957 vol 573 c135W
Sir A. Bossom

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what conditions are attached to grants in aid made to national museums and art galleries; and, in making the grants, what right of instruction and direction is reserved.

Mr. Powell

No conditions are attached to these grants-in-aid, and no right of instructions or direction is reserved in relation to their expenditure of them; but the accounts are subject to audit by the Comptroller and Auditor-General.
