HC Deb 17 March 1964 vol 691 cc146-7W
39. Mr. E. L. Mallalieu

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works whether he will appoint a representative of the British Precast Concrete Federation to the new National Building Agency.

Mr. Rippon

No. A board representing all the many interests affected by the work of the Agency would be unmanageable. The board has therefore been constituted to reflect broadly the various interests concerned and I have not sought to appoint representatives of particular organisations.

The increase from £84,000 provided in 1963–64 is due partly to higher prices and partly to a review of requirements in the light of expenditure to date in the current financial year and of actual expenditure in 1962–63.

Mr. W. Hamilton

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works if he will itemise the current expenditure of £163,404 at Buckingham Palace, as shown in Appendix III of the Civil Estimates, Class IX, Vote 10.

Mr. Rippon

The details are as follows:

£
1,262 for salaries and wages.
14,200 for cleaning and services.
19,500 for day to day building maintenance.
