HC Deb 13 November 1969 vol 791 c130W
Mr. Macdonald

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what plans his Department has for displaying to the public the London Transport relics now housed at Clapham when that museum closes.

Miss Jennie Lee

When the Clapham Museum closes, I understand that the relics associated with the London Transport Board and its predecessors will be reclaimed by London Transport, who would be under a duty to preserve them in suitable accommodation. The intention is that they would be available for viewing on application. Ultimately the relics might find a home in a museum of transport and associated subjects relating to the London region.

Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will consider the Birmingham-Coventry region in his choice of a new site for the Clapham Transport Museum.

Miss Jennie Lee

After very careful consideration, York has been selected as the site of the new museum.
