Abstract
THE Minister of Labour and National Service has made an order for the compulsory registration of professional engineers. Registration is with the Central Register. It refers to those who are normally engaged in a technical or supervisory capacity in aeronautical, automobile, chemical, civil, structural and municipal, electrical, gas, locomotive or mechanical engineering; and those normally engaged on research work in the engineering sciences at a university or in research and development work in any industry or as a teacher of engineering science. Men whose names are already on the Central Register are not to register again. There are 22,000 names in the engineering categories of the register, of whom about 800 are not in employment, and it is estimated that 30,000 more names will now be added.
