School Parties (Museum Charges)

HC Deb 14 June 1989 vol 154 cc442-3W

Mr. Cohen

To ask the Minister for the Arts which national museums impose charges for school parties; and what advice he issues museums in respect of educational charges.

Mr. Luce

The National Maritime museum and Merseyside Maritime museum are the only national museums to levy charges for school parties. Both operate concessionary charge schemes.

The policy on charging educational parties is a matter for the director and trustees of each individual museum.
