SCIENTIST LOSS
Proposals For Remedies (Parliamentary Reporter) WELLINGTON, Sept. 13. Proposals to help keen . scientists in New Zealand ; and to strengthen the role of science in New Zealand industry were discussed in Parliament today when the estimate for scientific and industrial research was being dealt with. The Minister of Scientific and Industrial Research (Mr Tennent) agreed to consider setting up a permanent committee of scientists and members of Parliament similar to the United Kingdom’s Parliamentary Scientific Committee. The suggestion came from Mr W. Nash (Opp., Hutt) who said that he regularly received the British committee’s minutes. “I'd like to see something similar here. I’m sure it would be very valuable," Mr Nash said. The universities supported a -plan to ask scholarship winners to do a year’s research in New Zealand before going overseas and three years on their return, Mr Tennent told the House.
“We are losing some of our really top scientists in scholarship winners who don’t come back.” he said.
