asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will take steps, in consultation with the corporation of Glasgow, to make the collection of pictures, sculpture, tapestries and silver, given by the late Sir William Burrell to the City of Glasgow in 1944 but at present stored in crates in various buildings in that city, available to public view.
As my hon. Friend the Joint Parliamentary Under Secretary of State stated on 11th May when the House was debating this subject, discussions about housing the Burrell Collection on the Pollock Estate are progressing favourably. The matter is, in the first instance, one for the particular bodies concerned in the discussions but I am very much interested in a successful outcome to them and will be ready to help whenever this is necessary.
