§ Mr. PriorMr. McCarthy, the curator of the National Museum of Labour History, wrote to me on 7 May, congratulating me on the election victory and my appointment as Secretary of State. He also asked me to point out sources of revenue for the museum, or to put him in touch with industrialists who might wish to support the museum in its work. I have replied to Mr. McCarthy's letter, informing him that I do not know of any source of immediately available funds but promising to explore possibilities if the opportunity arises, and to get in touch again if these efforts are successful.
