In a strongly worded letter published in today’s JEP, Sir Philip says that he cannot believe the States ‘would be so careless’ as to allow key Island museums to close.
He has recommended setting up a Museums Endowment Fund with £10 million of public money from the Strategic Reserve.
That cash would be complemented by a commitment given to provide up to another £5 million on a pound for pound basis against money raised by supporters of Jersey Heritage.
