HC Deb 07 March 1962 vol 655 c78W
Mr. D. Price

asked the Parliamentary Secretary for Science whether the Government have now considered the views expressed by the Advisory Council on Scientific Policy as to the need to overhaul the present organisation for dealing with civil science.

Mr. Denzil Freeth

The Government have decided to review the existing organisation for the promotion of civil science by Government agencies. This review, which will be concerned mainly with issues of administrative organisation and the machinery of government, will take full account of the views expressed by the Advisory Council; and advice will also be sought from scientists both inside and outside the public service.
