Abstract
THE council of the Institution of Electrical Engineers has elected the Right Hon. Lord Hankey to be an honorary member of the Institution. This distinction has been conferred upon Lord Hankey in appreciation of the valuable services rendered by him as chairman of the Scientific and Engineering Advisory Committees of the War Cabinet, and more recently as chairman of the Technical Personnel Committee. In the latter capacity he has dealt with many problems which have arisen in meeting the demand for engineering personnel for the Forces, the supply establishments and for industry, and has been instrumental in establishing special schemes, notably the intensive training scheme, State bursaries and the engineering cadet scheme, for the training of engineers to meet the needs for future personnel.
