§ 98. Brigadier Medlicottasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will consider, with a view to taking action, the possibility of enlisting the co-operation of appropriate organisations such as the Rotary Movement, Toc H, the British Legion and others in providing a rota of volunteers to act as supplementary custodians in museums and art galleries during the present period of financial stringency, and thus avoid the necessity of closing some parts of those buildings as is at present proposed.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterI thank my hon. Friend for his suggestion. This would be a matter for consideration by the authorities of the institutions concerned.
