§ Mr. Lathamasked the Minister for the Arts if he will make a further statement about the present arrangements for loans from national museums and galleries for which he is responsible to local collections.
§ Mr. LuceSix of the nine national collections which regularly lend works of art for exhibition are continuing to do so without requiring commercial insurance by the borrower.
A fresh formula has now been devised which I hope will overcome the anxieties of the other three national collections. Discussions are now proceeding on the new formula with the Tate gallery and others and I hope to reach an early solution.
