HC Deb 22 January 1986 vol 90 cc193-4W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will publish in the Official Report the attendance figures for 1985 reported by the Natural History museum, comprising its outstations and the Geological museum, with the percentage increase or decrease on the attendance figures for 1984.

Mr. Walden

I understand that 3,354,351 people visited the British Museum (Natural History) in 1985. This figure includes the Zoological Museum at Tring, Hertfordshire and the Geological Museum. This represents an 11 per cent. increase over the equivalent figure for 1984.
