As Study Groups develop my present intentions are that their views should be brought to bear either directly on the department con- cerned through the presence of a departmental officer or, in appropriate cases, through briefs prepared for me or my senior officers to use in the Committees etc. on which we sit. Acknowledged experts in their fields are already known to departments. What we can aim to contribute through the organization of Study Groups is the articulation of any special local views and the voicing of opinion by ordinary people mixed up in the various activities with which the Government is concerned. The best way to do this will for some time be a matter for experiment.
