HC Deb 10 February 1949 vol 461 c94W
88. Sir W. Smithers

asked the Minister of Education why Beryl Lund who was suspended by the Ministry of Supply for Communist tendencies, has been offered a post in his Department; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Tomlinson

My Department is an expanding one which has a wide range of non-secret work. Miss Lund's transfer from the Ministry of Supply was accepted as a convenient means of affording her the alternative employment promised in my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister's statement of 15th March, 1948. She is now employed on routine duties in the Science Museum.
