§ 39. Mr. Straussasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will ban piped music at exhibitions in the National Galleries.
§ Miss Jennie LeeOur national museums and galleries are free to organise their exhibitions and displays without Government intervention. I understand that the only occasions when piped music has been used were, some years ago, when the Victoria and Albert Museum provided a background of church music to an exhibition of stained glass and during the current exhibition of portraits by Cecil Beaton at the National Portrait Gallery.
