Question:
To ask the Minister of Culture, Arts and Leisure whether the current museums policy takes sufficient account of maritime heritage.

Answer:

The Report of the Assembly’s Culture, Arts and Leisure Committee Inquiry into the need for a Museums Policy for Northern Ireland included a recommendation that the policy address the issue of how the maritime museum sector can be developed.
