HC Deb 25 March 1964 vol 692 c98W
86. Mr. Albu

asked the Minister of Transport what proposals he has received from the British Railways Board for the future of the three transport museums.

Mr. Galbraith

The formal scheme put to my right hon. Friend by the Board in accordance with the Transport Act, 1962, for the future of the historical transport relics, which he is considering, does not contain detailed proposals for the individual museums. The Board has, however, written to my Department seeking relief from the financial burden represented by the museums. We were not able to offer specific help from Exchequer Funds. But we made certain suggestions about courses which the Board might itself consider in order to reduce its commitment.
