HC Deb 12 May 1965 vol 712 c93W
Mr. Charles Morrison

asked the Minister of Technology if he will publish the organisational structure of his Department, indicating the responsibilities and functions of each unit in it.

Mr. Cousins

The Ministry is being organised in two technological controllerates and a secretariat. One controller will be responsible for detailed studies of particular industries and particular technological problems. The other will be responsible for the Department's laboratories, for support of the research associations and for other operations to assist in the application of technology in industry. The secretariat, organised in six divisions, will provide the usual financial, establishment and secretariat services. The Department is advised by an Advisory Council, the composition of which I announced in reply to the Member for Normanton (Mr. Albert Roberts) on November 24th, 1964.
