§ Mr. Cormackasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether she will announce where and when she intends Gainsborough's "Hunting Scene", acquired in 1977 from Lord Rosebery, to be placed on public display.
§ Mr. OakesFor security reasons an announcement about the allocation of a work of art accepted in lieu of estate duty or capital transfer tax is not normally made until the object concerned has been physically, as well as officially, given into the care of the recipient museum or gallery. The handover of the Gainsborough will take place shortly.
