§ 118. Mr. Gibsonasked the Minister of Works whether he will now make a statement as to the progress made in applying the recommendations of the productivity reports made by the various working parties which visited America and produced the reports which have been issued 46W in this country; and, in particular, whether any of the recommendations in the report on the building industry have been adopted.
§ Mr. G. BrownResponsibility for sending productivity teams to the United States and for making use of their reports rests with the Anglo-American Council on Productivity, which is an independent body representing both sides of industry. The only Productivity Team Report which affects my Department is that on building. A great deal has been done to implement its recommendations which were considered in detail, together with those of the Building Industry Working Party, by the National Consultative Council at a series of meetings last year.
