Government Funding For Museums
EDM number 1768 in 2006-07, proposed by Gordon Marsden on 25/06/2007.
That this House believes the 28 per cent. real increase in funding for sponsored museums over the past 10 years, which has enabled free entry to many great national collections and a 40 per cent. increase in visitor numbers, shows clearly the Government's success in combining cultural excellence with social inclusion; welcomes in particular the commitment of the Big Lottery Fund and Heritage Lottery Fund in this respect; and would strongly deplore any move away from this successful formula.
This motion has been signed by a total of 60 MPs.
