HC Deb 06 March 1972 vol 832 c244W
76. Mr. Barry Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she will extend the concessions available for school parties at the British Museum for the Tutankhamen Exhibition on Mondays only to a second day, namely, Tuesday; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. van Straubenzee

The arrangements for admission to the Tutankhamen Exhibition are a matter for the Trustees of the British Museum who expect an exceptionally heavy attendance. It is for them to balance the possibilities for special provision for school parties against the needs of the public at large.
