Abstract
WE commented last week upon the appointment of a committee to inquire into matters affecting the functions and staffs of certain research and experimental establishments of departments of Government. This inquiry is, of course, separate from that of the Royal Commission on the Civil Service which Mr. Baldwin recently announced would be appointed. We trust that the change of Government will not mean that this Commission will be dropped. A really wider issue than that of the position and functions of the technical expert in the Civil Service is involved; indeed, the time is ripe for an inquiry into matters affecting the position and responsibilities of the man of science and the technologist generally, in industry as well as in the public services.
