§ Mr. REMNANTasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if the police at the Victoria and Albert Museum have been replaced at the instigation of the Board of Education by porters; and, if so, whether he will see that the police so replaced will not be allowed to suffer any reduction in pay by their transfer to ordinary duty?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Churchill)I am informed by the Board of Education that a number of uniformed warders and doorkeepers who, with a few exceptions, have served in the Army, Navy, or police, have been appointed to perform duties in the museum hitherto performed by police officers. This has led to the latter officers returning to their ordinary duties, but when and so far as it is practicable they will be given employment of a similar nature elsewhere.
