HC Deb 25 February 1964 vol 690 c51W
51. Mr. Gower

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works for what reason the recently-formed National Building Agency contains at least two Scotsmen; and why no person from Wales and no person from Ulster is included.

Mr. Rippon

As the Board of the Agency must be manageable in size I have not been able to include in it directors drawn from all parts of the United Kingdom. I have appointed two directors from Scotland because of differences in the relevant law and practice, and in the organisation both of local government and of the building industry.
