HC Deb 30 November 1953 vol 521 c103W
15. Mr. Harold Davies

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power to what extent effective collaboration is now taking place, as recommended by the Turner Committee, between structural engineers, his Department and the National Coal Board, in order to establish a comprehensive building code for coalmining areas.

Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

The National Coal Board, the Ministry of Works and the professional bodies are working together and have much work in hand. For results so far, I would refer the hon. Member to the report by the Institution of Structural Engineers in September, 1949, and of a Committee of the Ministry of Works in September, 1951.
