§ Sir A. Bossomasked the Minister of Education if he will advise all technical colleges, institutes and schools now having courses in architecture, civil engineering and/or building, that they should consider including in their curricula for final year pupils instruction in producing a proper time and progress schedule for all constructional operations, with a view to avoiding the present wastage of time in the actual construction of many buildings.

§ Mr. Geoffrey LloydThe study of time and progress schedules is now commonly introduced in the more advanced stages of courses in architecture. It is included in a few civil engineering courses and in the only building course so far recognised as leading to the Diploma in Technology and is touched on in many National Diploma and Higher National Certificate courses in building. I welcome these developments and will take appropriate opportunities to encourage the study of this and other methods designed to improve organisation on the site.
§ Sir A. Bossomasked the Minister of Education if he will recommend to those responsible for arranging the final year's programme for students in educational establishments in architecture, civil engineering and building construction, that modular co-ordinated planning should be most carefully investigated and instruction provided in this science, which has proved successful where applied in other countries.
§ Mr. Geoffrey LloydI cannot usefully add to the reply given by my predecessor to an earlier Question by my hon. Friend on this subject in February, 1956.
