Its terms of reference was to discover whether there was any imbalance in the employment of qualified engineering, technological and scientific manpower and if so what steps could be taken to correct the imbalance.

J.227-J.398 COUNCIL FOR SCIENTIFIC POLICY 1967-1973 Dainton was appointed a member of the Council for Scientific Policy (CSP) on its establishment in January 1965. Its terms of reference were: ‘To advise the Secretary of State for Education and Science in the exercise of his responsibility for the formation and execution of Government scientific policy’. He was appointed chairman in 1969, succeeding Sir Harrie Massey. The Council was replaced in 1972 by the Advisory Board for the Research Councils, of which Dainton was the first Chairman 1972-1973 (see J.1). The bulk of the material relates to the Report A Framework for Government Research and Development (Green and White Papers Cmnds 4814 and 5046). This comprised two reports. The first was a personal report by Lord Rothschild, head of the Central Policy Review Staff on ‘The organisation and management of research and development’, commissioned in 1970. The second was a report ‘The future of the Research Council system’ by a CSP Working Group on Research Organisation chaired by Dainton ‘to advise the Secretary of State ... on the most effective arrangements for organising and supporting pure and applied scientific research and postgraduate training’. This had also been established in 1970. Dainton also chaired a Working Group enquiring into the flow of candidates in science and technology into higher education (the Swing Away from Science), set up by the CSP in 1965. See J.966-J.998. After the publication of the Green Paper containing the two, not entirely compatible, reports, the CSP established a Working Group (later known as the Preparatory Group) ‘to advise the CSP on the formulation of views on the Green Paper in general and the application of the customer/contractor principle to the Research Councils in particular.

J.246-J.292 Working Group on Research Organisation 1970-1971 In October 1970, in view of the Government’s commission to Lord Rothschild to undertake a general review of government supported science, the CSP established a Working Group, chaired by Dainton, ‘to advise the Secretary of State, through the Council for Scientific Policy, on the most effective arrangements for organising and supporting pure and applied scientific research and postgraduate training’. This body reported in May 1971 and its report was included within the Rothschild Report, even though some of its conclusions were at variance with the tenor of that report. Contact between Lord Rothschild and Dainton regarding their reports is documented at J.290-J.292. The material is retained in Dainton’s order.

It also sponsored an annual lecture bearing Boyle’s name hosted by the Royal Society of Arts in London and Leeds University. It was wound up in 1996 having raised a series of substantial donations.

Dainton NCUACS 112/11/02 Societies and organisations J.776-J.811 National Centre for Clinical Research 1971-1989 The proposal to establish a national clinical research centre in conjunction with a general hospital was initiated by the Medical Research Council in 1959. In 1970 Northwick Park Hospital in the North West Thames Regional Health Authority was chosen as the most suitable site and the Clinical Research Centre (CRC) established with Sir Graham Bull as its first Director (succeeded in 1978 by Sir Christopher Booth). Dainton was on the CRC’s Northwick Park Advisory Committee from its establishment. In January 1986, faced with an increasingly difficult financial situation, a crisis in clinical research and increasing pressure on general hospitals to deliver more efficient patient care, the Clinical Research Centre Committee chaired by Sir Michael Stoker reported to the MRC (the Stoker Report, J.780) that the CRC should be merged with the RPMS and the National Institute for Medical Research into a National Centre for Clinical Research on a single site.

In 1986, with two outstanding applications from Sheffield and University College London, Dainton recommended a further £1 million be set aside for these two projects.

WORKING GROUP ENQUIRY INTO THE FLOW OF CANDIDATES IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY INTO HIGHER EDUCATION Includes information on the ‘flight from science’ in other countries. This enquiry was established by the Council for Scientific Policy under the chairmanship of Dainton in February 1965 to examine the causes of and remedies for the persistent shortage of young people studying science and engineering at university (known as the ‘Swing Away from Science’). It produced an interim report in 1966 and a final report (the Dainton Report) in February 1968 (Cmnd. 3541). Correspondence and papers, 1966-1968. F.S.
