§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what representations he has received concerning his case for safeguarding the future of the museum of Welsh antiquities, and the associated art gallery, at Bangor; whether the Welsh Office are making any direct financial contribution towards the upkeep of these facilities; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsSix representations about the future of the museum of Welsh antiquities and the art gallery at Bangor have been received. The Welsh Office does not provide direct financial support for local museums and galleries. But local sources of funding for such facilities may be supplemented by the Council of Museums in Wales and the Welsh Arts Council which are centrally funded.
