§ Mr. John Fraserasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will discuss with the London Boroughs, the Greater London Council and other interested bodies, means of retaining the Clapham Transport Museum on its present site.
§ Miss Jennie LeeMy hon. Friend will have seen the proposals in Command Paper 3439 "Railway Policy". These envisage the creation of a single Transport Museum at York to be administered by the Science Museum and to be maintained by the Ministry of Public Building and Works, which would contain selected items from the existing collections. These proposals have the support of the Standing Commission on Museums and Galleries, and the Government consider that they have many advantages. In the circumstances I do not think any purpose would be served by a discussion such as my hon. Friend suggests.
