HC Deb 14 December 1972 vol 848 c230W
Mr. John Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will request the trustees of the National Galleries of Scotland not to deny the public free access to view the painting of the Third Duke of Richmond Out Shooting, by Johann Zoffany, which has for many years been on loan to the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, bearing in mind the owner's wishes in this respect.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

No. I do not propose to ask the trustees to make special viewing arrangements for any pictures in the galleries.
