§ Mr. John MorrisEach of the main establishments at Porton has its own advisory board. That for the Microbiological Research Establishment has 11 members excluding Crown servants. That for the Chemical Defence Experimental Establishment has 9 members excluding Crown servants. No member of either board receives a grant for research.
