HC Deb 28 January 1957 vol 563 cc135-6W
Captain Kerby

asked the Minister of Works what representations he has received from the building industry on the waste of public funds occasioned by annual budgeting for school buildings and other long-term constructional works; and if he will appoint a committee of independent experts, including cost accountants, to examine and make recommendations on the savings anticipated from two, three or four years' process budgeting.

Mr. Molson

No representations have been received from the building industry on this matter. I see no need for the appointment of a committee.
