Museums and Galleries

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport how many people have made recent representations to him regarding the future of the Captain Cook Birthplace museum in Marton, Middlesbrough.
Answer

To date, our records show that the Department has received and responded to 362 representations regarding the future of the Captain Cook Birthplace museum in Marton, Middlesbrough. The museum is the responsibility of the local authority, in this case Middlesbrough council, who must decide on how best to fund and deliver its cultural services. It is not appropriate for the Department to prescribe how they do so.
