§ Mr. Cormackasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what plans she has to provide in-service training in management for senior grades of museum curators in the public service.
§ Mr. van StraubenzeeThe senior staff of the museums and galleries for which the Department of Education and Science is responsible are already able to make use of the in-servicing training facilities provided by the Civil Service College.
§ Mr. Moneyasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether she will consider seeking to arrange facilities for interchange of senior curatorial staff between national and local authority museums.
§ Mr. van StraubenzeeThe question of interchange of curatorial staff between the national and the principal local museums is under review by the Committee on Provincial Museums and Galleries, appointed by my noble friend the Paymaster-General. Before deciding whether action by the Government is needed, he will study the advice of that committee.
