HL Deb 31 January 2005 vol 669 c18WA
Lord Fearn

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Which city museums have made charges to the public to view special or specific exhibitions in the past 10 years. [HL817]

Lord McIntosh of Haringey

As the Government sponsor only a small number of mainly national museums, they have no direct involvement with other city museums and this information is not held centrally. The decision whether to charge for specific exhibitions is for the responsible authorities, which in most cases would be the local authority.
