47. Mr. Robert G. HughesTo ask the Minister for the Arts what increase there has been in provision for the refurbishment and maintenance of museums and galleries for the year ahead.
§ Mr. LuceI am providing £48 million in the current financial year for the building and maintenance programmes at the national museums and galleries which I sponsor. I announced on 16 November last year that this provision will increase by 19 per cent. to £57 million, in 1990–91.
