HC Deb 29 October 1957 vol 575 c14W
Lieut.-Colonel Bromley Davenport

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will give further consideration to his decision to place Chatsworth's main art treasures, acquired in respect of death duties, in London museums and consider placing them in the Midlands and North so that a fairer distribution of art treasures is made over the country as a whole.

Mr. Powell

No. The decision was taken on the merits of the particular case, and I am satisfied that it was the right one.
