§ 47. Mr. MANDERasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is prepared to consider making additional grants to the British Museum to enable it to carry out the home excavation work recommended by the Royal Commission on National Museums and Galleries, in view of the additional employment that would thus be created, as well as the increased attraction to visitors from abroad, if important buried Roman cities, such as Uriconium, were excavated and made permanently available for inspection?
§ Mr. P. SNOWDENThe Treasury have asked the Trustees of the British Museum for their observations on the recommendations of the Royal Commission with regard to excavation work at home.
§ Mr. MANDERDoes not the right hon. Gentleman agree that it would be a good thing to try to make this country a land fit for Americans to visit, in the way indicated?
