HC Deb 08 February 1940 vol 357 cc420-1W
Mr. Markham

asked the Minister of Labour (1) whether directors and curators of provincial museums under municipal control and under society control, respectively, are treated as in reserved occupations for the purposes of the Military Service Acts;

(2) whether librarians and curators in charge of institutions under municipal control are treated as in reserved occupations for the purposes of the Military Service Acts?

Mr. E. Brown

Directors and curators of museums, and librarians, as such, are not specifically reserved under the Schedule of Reserved Occupations. If, however, they are members of the "executive and clerical grades" of a local authority, they are reserved at the age of 25.
