§ 22. Mr. J. H. Osbornasked the Minister of Public Building and Works when he proposes to publish a report on the Construction Research Advisory Council and on the Construction Industry Research and Information Association.
§ Mr. MellishI have accepted a recommendation by the Estimates Committee that in 1970 the Ministry should publish a report to show how far the Construction Research Advisory Council and the Construction Industry Research and Information Association are achieving the purposes for which they were set up.
§ Mr. OsbornCan the Minister give an indication of the progress which has been made so far? Can he confirm that this is a voluntary effort? Will he give a report on the progress of the Underwater Engineering Group, of which this organisation is a member?
§ Mr. MellishC.I.R.I.A. already publishes material on certain aspects of its work. I hope that before 1970 it will be possible to publish some of the papers presented through C.R.A.C. Both these are voluntary bodies. We must get as much good will as we can from this. I note what the hon. Gentleman said.
