FREE ADMISSION TO NATIONAL MUSEUMS AND GALLERIES

Early day motion 2248, tabled 9 November 2009 by Lord Mann (Labour). Signed by 33 members.

That this House recognises the importance of free admission to national museums and art galleries; notes that free admission allows people from all backgrounds to engage in a vibrant cultural and scientific life; and believes that introducing admission fees would exclude many families, students and others and hold back cultural and scientific development.
