§ Viscount Hinchingbrookeasked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether, in view of the importance of scientific and technological staff to the efficient production of coal, he will give an assurance that in his scheme for the reorganisation of the mines he will not apply the principles of Cmd. 6679, namely, that the salary scales for scientific and technological staff in the Civil Service are to be inferior to those of the administrative staff.
