It was a distinct disincentive to my parents taking me there.
I would not wish to see charges reintroduced, but, then again, if it is a choice between that and no Science Museum then we have to pay.
However, if such does happen then school trips have to be free, or at least funded from the DoE budget.

There is never enough money in the kitty to pay for everything we all want. Spending has to be limited to the revenue raised. One of the things this government should invest more in is better tax collection: more tax collectors, more revenue officers, more efficient ways of getting companies to pay tax.

But I’m wandering off the subject. How much is too much to pay to enter a national museum?
