HC Deb 11 April 1978 vol 947 c393W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether she will make funds available to save Captain Scott's "Discovery" for the nation.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

This ship is the responsibility of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Defence. I have had no request for assistance to preserve it. If I were to receive such a request from one of the museums for which I am responsible, I would consider it on its merits in the light of the resources available for these institutions.
