§ Mr. Alex CarlileTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will reconsider his refusal to support the proposal to establish at Machynlleth the Welsh museum of modern art; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RobertsThe Department does not provide direct financial assistance for museums other than the National Museum of Wales. The attention of the organisers of the proposed museum at Machynlleth has been drawn to the possibility of alternative sources of support, but it is entirely for the bodies concerned to decide on priorities.
