HC Deb 05 May 1975 vol 891 c303W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether, when notifying a public museum that a special Government grant is to be made for an acquisition, he will make it his practice to inquire from that institution if it is desired that contributions from private sources for the same acquisition should be detailed in his announcement in the House of the special grant in question.

Mr. Hugh Jenkins

No. Public collections can make adequate arrangements for their own publicity in those cases where they know it would be welcome.
