HC Deb 21 January 1943 vol 386 cc291-2
45. Mr. Salt

asked the Prime Minister what changes in the scientific direction and co-ordination of the war effort are involved by the appointment of his personal scientific adviser as Paymaster-General and the transfer of the Lord Privy Seal to the Ministry of Aircraft Production; and whether, in particular, the latter change in any way modifies the arrangements with regard to the link between the scientific advisers to the Ministry of Production?

The Deputy Prime Minister (Mr. Attlee)

No change in the scientific direction and co-ordination of the war effort are involved by the appointments to which my hon. Friend refers. As regards the last part of the Question, I would refer him to the reply which my right hon. Friend the Minister of Production gave yesterday in reply to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for East Middlesbrough (Mr. A. Edwards).
