Abstract
MEMBERS of the present Government have already made several statements of their appreciation of the importance of both scientific and industrial research, and affirmed that the Government is no less determined than its predecessor to encourage and support its prosecution within industry, by the universities and by the Departments of State. That research is an essential factor in industrial efficiency is a lesson well learnt since the Balfour Committee published its series of reports in the decade after the First World War. The need for a great expansion in the nation's research effort is now unchallenged: the questions at issue are rather how best to utilize our available resources of men and material, and to provide the most effective means for expansion.
