1. Dr. Stross

asked the Minister of Education to what extent he proposes in future to authorise the Victoria and Albert Museum to offer more than 50 per cent. of the cost of a work of art to a provincial gallery or museum that applies for assistance.

Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

I am not proposing to go above 50 per cent.
