HC Deb 23 July 1971 vol 821 c362W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science in view of the fact that attendances at the 18 national museums and galleries in 1970 did not exceed 16 million, and in view of the fact that no analysis of the categories of visitors to these institutions is available, how the estimate of receipts from the proposed admission charges of £1,300,000 was obtained.

Mrs. Thatcher

Discussions with the institutions concerned provided a basis for an informed assessment of the likely yield from admission charges.
