HC Deb 29 November 1948 vol 458 c154W
Sir P. Macdonald

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what steps are being taken to ensure that an adequate number of British scientists and technicians will be available within a few years to fill vacancies in the Colonial Surveys.

Mr. Creech Jones

I invite attention to the reply made on 10th November to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Burslem (Mr. Edward Davies). Surveying is one of the branches for which a probationer Training Scheme has been introduced.
