HC Deb 28 July 1953 vol 518 c144W
Mr. H. A. Price

asked the Minister of Supply what changes are being made in the organisation of radar research in his Department.

Mr. Sandys

I have been reviewing the functions of the two Ministry of Supply electronic experimental stations at Malvern, one of which is primarily engaged on radar research for the Army and the other for the Air Force and Fleet Air Arm. As a result I have come to the conclusion that it is desirable to integrate more closely all research activities in this field and to ensure a more rapid interchange of ideas and technical information. With this object, I have decided to amalgamate these two stations and so create at Malvern a combined organisation, working for all three Services. This will be known as the Radar Research Establishment. The change will take effect as from 1st September.
