London Transport Museum

EDM number 713 in 2012-13, proposed by John Cryer on 12/11/2012.
Categorised under the topic of Museums and galleries.

That this House notes the funding crisis at London Transport Museum, arising from cuts of 1.5 million over four years and the loss of an Arts Council grant; recognises that the aforementioned sum is a tiny proportion of Transport for London's (TfL) budget, equating to 0.36 per cent of the amount that TfL gave to its subsidiaries in 2011-12; applauds the major contribution of the Museum to the preservation of London's transport heritage and education in the city's schools and diverse communities; and calls on the Mayor of London and the TfL board to reinstate the cut funding.

This motion has been signed by a total of 30 MPs.
