Turner's First Art Bequest
EDM number 1237 in 2010-12, proposed by Austin Mitchell on 10/01/2011.
Categorised under the topic of Art works.
That this House is concerned that the generous intentions of JMW Turner's first art bequest to the nation are not being fulfilled by the trustees of the National Gallery, that, as a result, the people of Britain, who are the owners of the art, are being impoverished by lack of informed access to an art bequest intended to enrich their lives; and calls for the Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics,Media and Sport to order the National Gallery to display properly Turner's bequest to explain and sustain his intentions for the benefit of the owners of the art and to review a trustee system which leaves the National Gallery unaccountable to the British people.
This motion has been signed by a total of 14 MPs.
