69. Mr. Willis

asked the Parliamentary Secretary for Science if he will make a written statement on the qualifications of each of the 43 British scientists and technologists recruited by the interview- ing board in North America last year for posts in this country.

Mr. Denzil Freeth

I regret that the figure, which I gave to the hon. Member for Barnsley (Mr. Mason) last week, did not take account of 11 candidates
