HC Deb 08 May 1860 vol 158 cc891-2
MR. DILLWYN

said, he wished move for a Return showing the Salaries of the Officers and Assistants employed in the British Museum, the South Kensington Museum, the Museum of Practical Geology, and on the Ordnance Geological Survey; specifying the duties of each person, the date of his appointment, and any regulations which may exist regarding increase of Salary; also stating when and by what amount any such Salaries may have been augmented.

SIR GEORGE LEWIS

said, he thought it was not desirable for the Return to be ordered in its present shape.

MR. DILLWYN

said, he had understood that it was to be an unopposed Return.

SIR GEORGE LEWIS

said, he considered it to be unnecessary to include the British Museum, because the information in question relative to that institution would have to be adduced before a Committee now sitting.

Return ordered, Showing the Names and Salaries of the Officers and Assistants employed in the British Museum, the South Kensington Museum, the Museum of Practical Geology, and on the Ordnance Geological Survey; specifying the duties of each person, the date of his appointment, and any regulations which may exist regarding increase of Salary; also stating when, and by what amount, any such Salaries may have been augmented, and whether any further sums have been paid to such Officers and Assistants for extra duties or special services since their appointment.
