§ 26. Sir CHARLES OMANasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, what are his intentions in view of the dangerous condition of the Museum of Geology in Jermyn Street?
Lieut.-Colonel Sir VIVIAN HENDERSONfor the FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS: The Royal Commission on the National Museums and Galleries has represented that the present conditions in Jermyn Street are unsatisfactory from every point of view, and that the transfer of the Geological Museum to an appropriate site in South Kensington should be made at the earliest convenient moment. The Chancellor of the Exchequer and my Noble Friend endorse this view, and hope to give effect to it as soon as financial circumstances permit.
§ Sir V. HENDERSONThe savings will be of various kinds.
