§ Mr. Boydenasked the Minister of Public Building and Works how many buildings are being erected for his Department on the prefabricated systems similar to the Aldershot system which collapsed; and what steps he has taken to prevent similar failures.
§ Mr. SharplesThe four officers' messes at Aldershot were the only buildings to be erected for the Ministry in this version of this prefabricated system; other versions which are being used differ in essential respects.
§ Mr. James Boydenasked the Minister of Public Building and Works, what new instructions he has issued to his architectural and supervising staff following the failure of the prefabricated buildings at Aldershot.
§ Mr. SharplesThe Ministry's staff concerned are fully aware of the contents of the Building Research Station's technical statement, which my right hon. Friend included in a Return to the House on 19th December, 1963. I do not consider it necessary to issue new instructions.
