HC Deb 29 March 1974 vol 871 c219W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether the purchase by a national institution of the Thomas Heywood manuscript "Tom a Lincoln" has been concluded; and which institution will hold the manuscript.

Mr. Hugh Jenkins

An offer to purchase was made on behalf of a public collection on 11th March, and as a consequence no export licence will be granted. It is for the owner to decide whether to accept the offer.
