Mr. Michael Hamilton
asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what arrangements have been made to safeguard the future of the Pitt-Rivers archaeological collection.
Mr. Hugh Jenkins
Within the framework of the arrangements announced in the reply by my hon. Friend the Financial Secretary on 20th June 1974 to a Question by the hon. Member for Salisbury (Mr. Hamilton), assurances have been received from the Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum that it will accept the Pitt-Rivers archaeological collection and make it available to scholars and the public. With the help of the Wiltshire County Council temporary arrangements are being made for the custody and care of the collection until suitable premises are available for their proper display.
