HC Deb 07 May 1951 vol 487 cc186-7W
Mr. Bossom

asked the Minister of Local Government and Planning if he will give an assurance that the committee which is to advise him on the revision of the model building by-laws will include at least one sanitary inspector.

Mr. Dalton

No. I have invited 15 Associations, including the Royal Sanitary Institute, each to nominate a member of the Committee, and I must leave it to them to choose whomsoever they think best qualified for the task. I cannot add to the Committee's present numbers without making it unwieldy, but the Committee will be free to take evidence from any body with special knowledge and experience.

Mr. Bossom

asked the Minister of Local Government and Planning the names of the professional associations invited to nominate representatives to serve on the committee which is to advise him on the revision of the model building bylaws.

Mr. Dalton

The answer is as follows: Association of Municipal Corporations, British Standards Institution, Federation of Associations of Specialists and Sub-Contractors, Federation of British Industries, Incorporated Association of Architects and Surveyors, Institution of Civil Engineers, Institution of Municipal Engineers, Institution of Structural Engineers, National Federation of Building Trades' Employers, National Federation of Building Trades' Operatives, Royal Institute of British Architects, Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, Rural District Councils Association, Royal Sanitary Institute and Urban District Councils Association.
