HC Deb 16 January 1989 vol 145 c73W
103. Mr. Sedgemore

To ask the Minister for the Arts whether he has met the board of trustees of the Victoria and Albert museum since March, to discuss the report of the National Audit Office.

Mr. Luce

I met Lord Armstrong, chairman of the Victoria and Albert museum trustees, and Mrs. Elizabeth Esteve-Coll, director of the museum in October last year. A number of important issues were discussed including points raised in the National Audit Office report.

The Government are considering the report of the Public Accounts Committee on the management of collections of the English national museums and galleries, and will respond as soon as possible.
