§ 2. Mrs. Renée Shortasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what steps he is taking to publicise the work of the Agrément Board among local authorities.
§ Mr. MellishA circular was issued to local authorities yesterday. I am sending a copy to my hon. Friend.
§ Mrs. ShortI thank my hon. Friend for beating my Question by one day. Is he aware that the work of the Agrément Board is somewhat retarded because of the lack of an insurance system similar to the one which the French are using? Would he consider again whether it is possible to introduce it?
§ Mr. MellishI take my hon. Friend's advice. Incidentally, she will be glad to know that the first certificate was issued by the Board on 17th January.
