§ 37. Mr. FREEMAN (for Major POLE)asked the Secretary of State for India whether his attention has been drawn to the need for an institute of industrial research in India; and, seeing that there is at present no centre where scientific research into the problems of India's growing industries can be carried out and in view of the offer of Sir C. V. Raman to give his time and energy to such a scheme if it were adopted, whether he will urge upon the Government of India the desirability of considering giving financial support to such an institute?
§ Mr. BENNI feel that this is a matter in which the initiative should rest with the Government of India.
