HC Deb 20 March 1945 vol 409 cc666-7W
Major Braithwaite

asked the Secretary of State for Air the approximate total value and proportion of building and structural work carried out for his Department in the United Kingdom during the past five years and controlled by civil or structural enginers acting as the principal co-ordinators.

Sir A. Sinclair

The value of building and structural work carried out for the Air Ministry under the supervision of civil or structural engineers acting as consultants and principal co-ordinators during the last five years has been roughly £9,000,000. This sum represents approximately 2 per cent. of the total value of Air Ministry works executed in the United Kingdom during the period.
