§ Sir HENRY CRAIKasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether there is any reason why officers in the Royal Scottish Museum should not be paid on the same scale as officers performing the same duties and with similar scientific qualifications in the London museums?
§ Mr. BALDWINIt is generally the case that salaries in Edinburgh rule lower than those in London in all kinds of employments. The scales of the officers in the Royal Scottish Museum have recently been substantially improved to bring them nearer to the London rates, and I see no sufficient reason for any further increases at the present time.
