Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Addington (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Wednesday, 22 June 2005.
Museums and Art Galleries: Security
- Question
- My Lords, museums and galleries are under pressure to display their back catalogues or stored items. Will the Minister give an assurance that they will not have to increase the number of items on display unless they have sufficient resources to make sure that they are secure?
- Answer
-
My Lords, of course. When museums look at what they display, they carry out risk assessments and take relevant action. Obviously, if a small museum in one of the regions has an extremely valuable object, but does not feel that it can be protected adequately, it will be kept in safe storage.
