§ 24. Colonel BURNasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he will, if it has not been already arranged, take immediate steps whereby, by suitable public notices, leaflets, and otherwise, the attention of all members of His Majesty's and the Allied Forces, temporarily in or coming to London and strangers there, shall be drawn to the museums, picture galleries, theatres, and other places of interest, recreation, and healthy amusement in London, and how to reach them?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI think that everything possible in this direction is already being done by the various voluntary organisations which are so indefatigable in their efforts on behalf of our 3410 soldiers. I believe that notices and leaflets are displayed in the huts and kiosks throughout London. I am, however, considering whether anything further is necessary in this connection, and should be glad to receive any suggestions from my hon. and gallant Friend.
§ 37. Mr. PETOasked the First Commissioner of Works whether he intends at once to take the necessary steps to reopen the National Gallery and British Museum, so that the art treasures of the nation may be viewed by Dominion and American troops passing through London during demobilisation?
§ Sir A. MONDI can only refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave on Monday to the hon. Member for West Leeds.
