HC Deb 19 September 1940 vol 365 c201
48. Sir H. Morris-Jones (for Mr. E. J. Williams)

asked the Prime Minister whether he will consider the formation of a whole-time scientific committee from the Royal Society to investigate every portion of our war effort from comprehensive points of view, to propose new ways of waging war and to have direct contact with the Cabinet to promulgate its views and emphasise its recommendations?

Mr. Attlee

Representations which have been received from the Royal Society as to closer co-operation with the Government are under active consideration.
