the appointment of more than one official. We beg to observe that no option 
is reserved to the Government, and to remind you of the strongly expressed 
opinion of Archeological and kindred Societies, that the need of an inspector

Your memorialists therefore pray the Government will proceed to make an 
appointment under the Act by selecting some archeologist of acknowledged 
experience and distinction. 
It is understood that, whilst no immediate action will be taken by His 
Majesty’s Government, the matter is receiving careful consideration by 
the Prime Minister, with the object of placing all ancient monuments in 
the United Kingdom under adequate protection and more effective 
supervision.
