The National Maritime Museum’s collection includes 3,112 works of art (oil paintings, miniatures, sculpture). All of these are accessible to everyone—in galleries, by appointment to visit the stores or via the collections section of rmg.co.uk.
Of the 3,112 works of art: 234 (8%) are currently on display in the Museum galleries,135 (4%) are currently on loan to other galleries and institutions (including one to Mapperton House, a private historic house belonging to the Earl of Sandwich that is open to the public on scheduled days in the year) and 2,743 (88%) are in storage or conservation.

That this House recalls that on 14 February 1963 Harold Wilson became leader of the Labour Party and subsequently served as Prime Minister from 1964 to 1970 and from 1974 to 1976 when he was forced to retire due to ill-health; notes that it was during Wilson's governments that capital punishment was abolished, homosexuality ceased to be a crime and abortion laws were radically reformed; further recalls the rapid rise in higher education opportunities during the Wilson years including the establishment of the Open University and polytechnics and that Wilson insisted on keeping Britain out of the Vietnam War, but within NATO, and gave the people of Britain a referendum on Europe; declares its surprise that no full-length statue of Harold Wilson exists in Westminster; and calls for early action to commission a statue equal in quality to that which stands in St George's Square in his home town of Huddersfield.

That this House notes with concern that due to excessive central Government cuts to local authority funding, councils are under severe pressure and many nationally treasured works of art are being prepared for sale in order to try and balance the books; is concerned by the decision of the Mayor of Tower Hamlets to sell on the open market the Henry Moore sculpture affectionately known as `Old Flo' contrary to the wishes of many local councillors and people; further notes with concern that there is ambiguity over title to that sculpture; recalls the wishes of Henry Moore and his family that this sculpture should be displayed for the benefit of the people of London and the intentions of the London County Council on purchasing this sculpture that it should remain in public ownership in perpetuity; welcomes the interest of the Museum of London in housing the sculpture at the Museum of London Docklands in Tower Hamlets, where it could be displayed for free and with the support of professional skilled curators; and believes that `Old Flo' and other internationally important works of art could soon be lost, taking with them an important part of the nation's heritage, due to irresponsible cuts to local authority budgets.
