3. Mr. Watkinsasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is now in a position to reply to the further representations of the Welsh Parliamentary Party made on 11th January in connection with the National Library of Wales.
§ The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Mr. Harold Macmillan)Yes, Sir. I have written to the hon. Gentleman.
Mr. WatkinsWhat can I do, Mr. Speaker, in a situation of this kind? The right hon. Gentleman's letter has only just been received by me. I have not had a chance to look at it. What is the Chancellor's decision with regard to the payment of intermediate scales to the staff of the National Library of Wales?
§ Mr. MacmillanI am sorry for the delay. All these things take time. When the hon. Gentleman reads my letter he may like to see me, when I shall be very happy to discuss the matter with him.
