HC Deb 02 July 1965 vol 715 c149W
Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the Minister of Transport what study he has made of the Report of the Working Party on Traffic appointed by the Incorporated Association of Architects and Surveyors, a copy of which has been sent to him; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Swingler

My right hon. Friend received the Report, with a covering letter from the Secretary of the Association, on 30th June. He will reply as soon as he has had time to consider it.

Mr. Lubbock

asked the Minister of Transport what representations he has received from the Incorporated Association of Architects and Surveyors concerning the staggering of working hours; and what reply he has sent.

Mr. Swingler

The Association has just sent my right hon. Friend a copy of the report of its Working Party on Traffic. It suggests that further staggering of business hours should be imposed by regulation. We prefer persuasion to direction and are considering how we can achieve more staggering in this way.
