§ 17. Mr. Dodds-Parkerasked the Minister of Works what steps he has taken during the current year to organise a widespread and effective steel economy campaign, with a view to taking advantage of the recent advance of knowledge with regard to the efficient use of steel and the provisions in B.S.449 and codes of practice dealing with this matter.
§ Mr. KeyPublicity on steel economy measures can most usefully be directed to those actively engaged in the design of new construction and through establishments where professional training is given. Last March I appointed a Committee representing all the professional interests to organise publicity through the professional institutions and the Committee has already done much useful work. My right hon. Friend the Minister of Education is encouraging local education authorities to arrange refresher courses in up-to-date practice and design and my Ministry has also provided exhibits in different parts of the country to illustrate economy methods.
