Viscount Colville of Culross (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 October 2024

Debate

Tax Reliefs: Theatre, Orchestra and Museums and Galleries Exhibition

Contribution

My Lords, I declare an interest as a trustee of the Museum of the Home. A recent survey by civic museums has shown that there is a backlog of hundreds of millions of pounds of urgent maintenance outstanding for our great cultural institutions, including the British Museum. Roofs are leaking, threating the museum building structures and the collections within them. Is the Minister aware of the importance of continuing the museums tax relief to ensure that this backlog is addressed?
