HC Deb 13 November 1952 vol 507 c73W
70. Sir W. Darling

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury why the number of messengers and cleaners at the National Maritime Museum increased from 10 in 1951–52 to 14 in 1952–53.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

In April, 1951, there were 10 messengers and cleaners in the National Maritime Museum. Today there are 11. The increase of one cleaner is due to the opening of the East Wing and other rooms of the Museum.
