HC Deb 08 December 1975 vol 902 c45W
Mr. Churchill

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will appoint trustees to administer the works forming part of the Turner bequest.

Mr. Hugh Jenkins

No. Works to which the Chancery Order of 1856 applies are administered by the trustees of the Tate and National Galleries, the British Museum and others of the national museums and galleries. The Government have no intention of depriving them of their holdings.
