HC Deb 02 July 1963 vol 680 c36W
71. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Parliamentary Secretary for Science what study he has made of the memorandum from the Society of Visiting Scientists Limited, sent to him by the hon. Member for West Lothian, concerning the need for a Government grant in aid, to enable it to extend its services for visiting scientists from overseas; and what reply he has made.

Mr. Denzil Freeth

Should the Society wish to make fresh representations, as suggested by the memorandum which I received from the hon. Member on Friday last, 28th June, my noble Friend would of course consider them.
