It doesn't seem that an AGM would have any direct business concerned with foreign exhibit exchanges, and the British Museum could surely find a gap in it's corporate events calender to host it's own AGM on site.
It's worrying that the national museum of one of the world's richest countries spends less than £1 million a year on new acquisitions according to latest figures - you can blow that on a single decent metal detector find nowadays almost. But then an institution just £2 million in debt which receives £40 million a year in public funding (a fraction of total funding I'd guess) wouldn't lead me straight to the phrase 'debt ridden' either....
Will the man in the street ever be able to cut through the spin and disinformation? I'm too merry to work out the Telegraph's agenda, or maybe its just lazy misinformed journalism.
I can't work out from the article if anything has been done wrong, but interesting article! Questions should be asked in the House!
