Mr. Robert AinsworthTo ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what Government resources are allocated via museum bodies to assist with annual running costs of any museum; and what policy is used to determine such allocations.
§ Mr. SproatMy Department's grant in aid to the Museums and Galleries Commission includes £1.02 million in 1994–95 towards the cost of supporting the Tyne and Wear museum service. My Department gives no other assistance towards the running costs of museums other than those museums it funds directly.
