§ Mr. Fauldsasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether she will specify the sum which forms part of 82W the £823,000 grant in aid for purchases by local museums in Vote 16, Class X for 1978–79, but which derives from the £1 million set aside to assist with the preservation of the national heritage as a consequence of her announcement of 26th October 1977, and made available, revalued to £1£42 million, on 1st April 1978.
§ Mrs. Shirley WilliamsThe English share of the £1 million—£840,000—was added to the total resources available for making acquisition grants. These resources have been revalued to take account of price rises. The division of the total resources, so revalued, has been made on the merits of each case and there is no ground for making hypothetical assumptions about the different components.
