§ Mr. Gordon PrenticeTo ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how many, and what 31W percentage of the total, works of art and artefacts in each of the national collections are in storage because of insufficient space to exhibit them. [149460]
§ Mr. Alan HowarthDCMS does not hold all of this data centrally. We have therefore contacted the National Museums and Galleries to request the information for a reply to my hon. Friend. I will write to him as soon as this is available, placing copies of my letter in the Libraries of both Houses.
