Dr Mont Follick: And the public houses.
Dr Mont Follick: On a point of order. Before you call the Public Libraries (Scotland) Bill, Mr. Speaker, I should like to point out that a delegation of Scottish librarians came to see me yesterday about the Bill—
Dr Mont Follick: No readers.
Dr Mont Follick: Will the right hon. Gentleman give some consideration to the Decimal Currency Bill?
Dr Mont Follick: Having listened to the Minister's reply to Question No. 40, may I ask him if he has made any other arrangements and what progress is being made with regard to Cavendish Bridge in my area?
Dr Mont Follick: On a point of order. Is it usual, when an hon. Member who is a lady asks a Question, to answer "Sir"?
Dr Mont Follick: Because we are more honest.
Dr Mont Follick: Mr. Follick rose—
Dr Mont Follick: While congratulating the Foreign Secretary on his statement, may I ask him whether any of the discussion referred to Korea?

Just over seven years ago, from the benches opposite, I recommended that we should give far more attention to the development of science and science teachers than we were then giving, or are even now giving. If we have not the science teachers we cannot have the...
Dr Mont Follick: Say what one will, he was of the foremost mathematicians in the world and we do not know whether or not his reason for abandoning this country was to go to one where scientists are better looked after. I have been in Russia three times and have been astounded at the civic position accorded to scientists there. We cannot say that £1,500 a year for one of the finest mathematicians in the world...
Dr Mont Follick: It was very good.
Dr Mont Follick: It is a paltry little amount.

Dr Mont Follick: Science teachers must be paid according to their value.
Dr Mont Follick: I hope he will.
