Abstract
THE annual report for 1944 of the Parliamentary and Scientific Committee refers to a further increase in the subscribing membership and to the formation of a Parliamentary Action Sub-Committee, which was especially active in connexion with the Finance Bill clauses relating to research. The report includes a summary of the changes recommended by the Subcommittee on Taxation and Research and of the proposals of Sir John Anderson in his Budget speech last April, as well as of points made to elucidate these proposals during the debate. The principal recommendations in the report on Scientific Aspects of British Agricultural Policy and in the Memorandum on the Organisation and Development of Research in Great Britain issued by the Committee during the year are detailed in the report, which further refers to the preparation of a confidential memorandum on scientific attaches, and to steps taken to encourage the establishment in the Dominions of committees similar to the Parliamentary and Scientific Committee.
