HC Deb 05 March 1971 vol 812 cc537-8W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether she will consider the provision of capital grants to enable reconstruction or rebuilding of provincial museums and art galleries where they are incapable of displaying or properly storing their collections.

Mrs. Thatcher

My noble Friend, the Paymaster-General, hopes shortly to initiate a survey of needs of provincial museums and art galleries. As he stated in another place on 16th December, the Government will be prepared to look sympathetically at these needs.
