HC Deb 18 July 1961 vol 644 c120W
74. Mr. Kelley

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many sociologists are employed in Government research organisations.

Mr. Selwyn Lloyd

There is no sociological class in the Civil Service, and it is not easy to define sociological work. But two officials at the Warren Spring Laboratory of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research and two at the Road Research Laboratory are engaged on sociological research. There are other pockets of research work of a sociological nature carried out in the research units of some other Government Departments.
