46. Sir R. Glyn

asked the Lord President of the Council whether he is now in a position to say if approval in principle can be granted to the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research to proceed with all the necessary work, including test borings to ascertain if the prospective site is suitable, to construct a ship model testing tank in order to carry out the important research work needed to keep shipbuilding in the United Kingdom well abreast of new developments; and whether in considering this matter he will take into account the Third Report of the Select Committee on Estimates on Research Development.

Mr. H. Morrison

Approval has been given to the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research to proceed with the necessary preliminary work to determine whether the proposed site is suitable for the construction of the new ship model tank.
