HC Deb 15 June 1920 vol 130 c1086
76. Sir J. BUTCHER

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether, in view of the importance to traders and the public, that the portions of the Victoria and Albert Museum now occupied by a certain staff of the Education Department, and closed to the public, shall be restored to their proper uses at the earliest possible opportunity, he will make arrangements that the staff of the Education Department now in this museum shall be removed to Whitehall at an early date, and in any case before the end of June?

Mr. PARKER (Lord of the Treasury)

My right hon. Friend has asked me to answer this question. The removal of the Board of Education staff from the portions of the Victoria and Albert Museum which it now occupies cannot be commenced until early in July. It is expected that the vacation will be completed before the end of that month.
