HC Deb 13 March 2001 vol 364 cc567-8W
Mr. Peter Ainsworth

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what recent representations he has received in concerning proposals to change the ownership of Apsley House; and if he will make a statement. [153431]

Mr. Chris Smith

[holding answer 12 March 2001]: I have not received any recent representations about changing the ownership of Apsley House, which is Crown property and will remain so. As I announced last year, I am reviewing the management arrangements for Apsley House and the Wellington Museum, but have yet to reach a final decision on those.
