HC Deb 10 March 1981 vol 1000 c311W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the planned time scale of development of the Clore gallery for exhibition of the Turner bequest at the Tate gallery.

Mr. Channon

It is hoped to complete the new Clore gallery in early 1984 and to open the exhibition later that year.

Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether the items from the Turner bequest at present in the National Gallery and the British Museum will be included in the collection in the projected Clore gallery when built at the Tate Gallery.

Mr. Channon

The arrangements for displaying in the new gallery Turner works at present outside the Tate Gallery will be a matter for discussion between the Tate Gallery trustees and those responsible for the other works. There is no intention that the new gallery should be the sole repository of Turner's works.
