§ Mr. Kellyasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he is aware that proposals for a revision of the conditions of service of certain clerical, etc., employÉs of the British Museum were submitted to the Department by deputation on 24th March, 1938, and that up to date the staff associations concerned have been unable to secure a considered reply; and will he take such action as is necessary to expedite a considered reply to their representations?
§ Captain WallaceThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. There are a number of museums, etc., which might be directly or indirectly affected, and the proposals raise issues of some complexity. They are under active consideration and an answer will be given as soon as possible.
