Mr. Alan WilliamsI would refer the hon. Member to my right hon. Friend's reply on 3rd July, 1967. All the trained research workers therein listed are still in post.
In addition, a graduate in social science (1966) joined the staff on 9th August, 1967. A graduate in economics (1961) with more than five years' research experience will be taking up his appointment shortly.
This research team continues to be supported by the research and specialist staffs of the government departments represented on the Board.—[Vol. 749 c. 194–5.]
