§ 36. Mr. Buchananasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he is aware that the current delay on all microfilm orders from the British Museum is approximately nine months and that the delay in the express service is approximately six months; and what action he proposes to take to eliminate such delay.
§ Miss Jennie LeeI am aware of this wholly unsatisfactory position, but delays are now being rapidly reduced. By September the Museum expect the time taken to complete an average order to be not more than four weeks. Four extra cameras have been in use since March and two more since May.
