HC Deb 25 February 1948 vol 447 c340W
60. Mr. Scollan

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty why are 25 per cent. of the expert technical staff at the recently completed £750,000 Torpedo Research Establishment being transferred from Fort Matilda to Teddington, Middlesex.

Mr. W. Edwards

It is necessary from time to time for members of the Royal Naval Scientific Service to be moved from one establishment to another as the needs of the research and development programme require. The number of transfers from the Torpedo Experimental Establishment at present contemplated is considerably less than 25 per cent. of the expert technical staff of the Establishment.
