asked the Minister of Labour whether it is intended to invite representatives of the Scientific Advisory Committee set up by the Government to serve upon his recently-appointed Production Advisory Committee?

No, Sir.

Will my right hon. Friend bear in mind that one of the best methods of dealing with any shortage of labour and material is by the application of modern methods of production, and will he see that he gets experts who understand this appointed on his Committee?

Experts and scientific people are working on research in the Departments.

Are there any representatives of skilled technicians or managements upon that Committee?

This Committee is representative of the Federation of British Industries, the British Employers' Confederation and the Trades Union Congress.
