§ 40. Mr. Buchananasked the Lord President of the Council if he will seek to ensure that in advertising vacancies and making appointments of professional staff to the House of Commons Library, more emphasis is placed on the value of a professional qualification in librarianship.
§ Mr. Sydney SilvermanI have been asked to reply.
This matter is at present being considered by the Library Sub-Committee of the Select Committee on House of Commons (Services) and my hon. Friend will, no doubt, be willing to await the results of this inquiry.
§ Mr. BuchananI am much obliged to my hon. Friend.
