HC Deb 15 July 1975 vol 895 c443W
28. Mr. Hawkins

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will make arrangements for the staff of museums and galleries for which he is responsible to undertake valuations of works of art held by private individuals and the subject of taxation, introduced in the present Parliament.

Mr. Hugh Jenkins

No. Valuation for the purposes of taxation is not a responsibility of the national museums and galleries.
