HC Deb 30 July 1957 vol 574 c146W
75. Mr. Vane

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is satisfied that the annual financial provision for our national museums is sufficient to enable senior staff to travel abroad when it is in the interests of their duties to do so; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

Yes; given the present need for all possible economy both in public expenditure and in foreign exchange.
