Mr. Faulds
asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether the Treasury letter of February, 1921, to the Trustees of the National Gallery, recognising the power of the Trustees to determine the imposition of charges at their discretion, also covered the Trustees of the Tate Gallery.
Mr. van Straubenzee
No. In 1921 the Tate Gallery was under the control of the Trustees of the National Gallery. The Trustees of the Tate Gallery were not established as an independent body until 1955.
