Museums Libraries Archives North East

EDM number 1459 in 2006-07, proposed by Dari Taylor on 15/05/2007.

That this House notes that the Government's policy of free entry to museums has seen 30 million extra museum visits in England since 2001; congratulates Museums Libraries Archives North East and North East Regional Museums Hub for the Renaissance in the Regions Programme; further notes that the programme is worth £4 million per annum to North East museums; welcomes the impressive 19 per cent. rise in overall visits to North East Hub museums; further notes that this figure exceeds the Department for Culture, Media and Sport's target by 17 per cent.; further welcomes the massive 40 per cent. rise in education visits to the Hub museums; is delighted that the percentage increase in visitors is mirrored in the numbers of visitors from lower socio-economic groups; recognises that the Renaissance North East programme has seen outreach activity increase by 7,000 per cent.; and calls on the Government to assure the museum-going public in the North East that this programme, which has contributed to the cultural and economic renewal of the region, will continue to receive the full funding it needs.
