asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will publish in the Official Report the attendance figures for 1982 reported by the national museums and galleries in Scotland, broken down to the individual institutions but comprising their outstations, with figures in each case of the percentage increase or decrease on the attendance figures for 1981.
The information is as follows:
| 1982 | Percentage change since 1981 | |
| National Galleries of Scotland | 346,222 | -3·1 |
| National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland | 130,422 | +5·9 |
1982
| Percentage change since 1981
| |
| Royal Scottish Museum | 625,102 | +1·3 |
The National Galleries of Scotland (NGS) are the National Gallery of Scotland, the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and the Scottish National Portrait Gallery (SNPG). Since the SNPG shares a building and entrance with the National Museum of Antiquities (NMAS) its attendances are included in the NMAS figure and not in that of NGS.
