Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Minister for the Arts, pursuant to his answer of 8 February,Official Report, column 994, what discussions he has had with the British Library about the pricing of scientific periodicals.

The British Library draws my attention to the cost of scientific periodicals and other materials when it presents its financial forecasts, and I take these into account when making my arts budget allocation.
