Abstract
IN connexion with the recent visit of the French scientific delegation, Capt. D. F. Plugge, chairman of the Parliamentary and Science Committee, asked the Minister of Supply what arrangements had been made for regular liaison between French scientific representatives and the Advisory Council on Scientific Research and Technical Development. Mr. Burgin made the following written reply: "Regular liaison between the Advisory Council referred to and French scientific representatives is effected through the Mission Scientifique Franco-Britannique, which has a permanent Secretary resident in London, who will shortly be located in the Ministry of Supply. The Mission has contact with the whole of the French war-time scientific organization. There is, in addition, a direct link between the Ministry of Supply and the French Ministere de l'Armement, which can be used by the Advisory Council for matters relating to scientific inventions, in the form of a Ministry of Supply officer who has been appointed liaison officer in the French Ministère and will shortly take up his duties in Paris."
