HC Deb 19 March 1963 vol 674 cc182-3
7. Mr. C. Johnson

asked the Parliamentary Secretary for Science what consideration he is giving to possible sites in Great Britain for one of the centres of the proposed North Atlantic Treaty Organisation Institute for Science and Technology; and whether he will urge Edinburgh as the venue for such a centre.

Mr. Denzil Freeth

Some preliminary consideration was given to possible sites in the United Kingdom, but in the circumstances set out in my reply to the hon. Member on 13th March, my noble Friend does not think it necessary to pursue the matter at the present time.
