§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKEasked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether the gratuities to the Police doing duty at the South Kensington Museum are less than those received by the constables at the National Gallery, British Museum, and India Museum; and, whether a suggestion to equalize them has been made by the Education Department to the Treasury?
§ MR. W. H. SMITH,in reply, said, that it was true that the gratuities to the police on duty at South Kensington Museum were less than those which were received at some other public institutions. A suggestion on the subject had been made by the Education Department to the Treasury to have those gratuities equalized; but it had been pointed out that the matter ought to be dealt with by the Commissioners of Police.
