| Description | Discusses the future status of the Meteorological Office and its relation to various state departments. Notes that Meteorology has much to gain from connection with the Air Ministry, but also that it has many other departments and interests to serve, including pure research. Feels that the Office being directed by only one department might stop its proper development and liberty. Suggests that the Director must be in charge of looking after all branches of Meteorology, and that there should be an enquiry before any steps are taken to change its functions and responsibilities. |
