§ Lord John HopeAt Avebury, my Department employs a Curator and two Custodians. The Curator looks after the Museum and takes part in archaeological excavations in the area. The two custodians conduct visitors round the 19W monument, cut the grass, keep the site tidy and attend when necessary at the Museum. I do not propose to increase this staff. In addition, a chargehand carpenter and five labourers are employed on wall repairs, site clearance and general maintenance. This labour force fluctuates according to the work in hand.
