HC Deb 04 February 1969 vol 777 c199
26. Mr. Kitson

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works whether he will make a statement on the progress of his Department's experiments in serial tendering.

Mr. Loughlin

Following the recommendations of the Banwell Committee, six experimental serial programmes have now been organised in my Department. Arrangements have been made to monitor and evaluate progress on these programmes. These are all large scale projects and the arrangements will continue throughout the whole building process.

Mr. Kitson

Will not the hon. Gentleman consider implementing the recommendation of the Banwell Committee?

Mr. Loughlin

I think that before we start considering the recommendations of the Banwell Committee we should get this experiment off the ground first.
