22. Mr. Tilney

asked the Minister of Technology when he expects to appoint Controller A; and what qualifications he will be looking for.

Mr. Cousins

As already announced, I have appointed Dr. J. B. Adams, F.R.S., to be the Controller in the Ministry of Technology with effect from 12th July. He will be in charge of all the scientific and technological work of the Ministry. Dr. Adams is a scientist of international reputation and his contribution is already proving of the greatest value to the work of my Department.
