TELECOMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH ESTABLISHMENT AND AIR DEFENCE AND RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT ESTABLISHMENT. Memorandum by Minister od Aircraft Production.

28 Apr 1942

5. The situation which suits all these purposes admirably is Marlborough College and at the meeting of the Night Air Defence Committee on 20th April the Prime Minister remarked that the experimental work concerned was so important that if necessary Marlborough College must be moved. "THE COMMITTEE: - Invited the Lord President of the Council to decide whether Marlborough College should be requisitioned for this purpose". 6. I, however, realise that no one should disturb a school doing such good work as Marlborough if any alternative were suitable.
