LONDON TRANSPORT MUSEUM

Early day motion 713, tabled 12 November 2012 by Lord Cryer (Labour). Signed by 30 members.

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.
