§ 44. Mr. Barterasked the Minister of Public Building and Works what further progress he has made in settling preferred dimensions for industrialised building by public authorities; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RipponYes. My Ministry is publishing today D.C.3 a further statement in the series on dimensional coordination. This statement summarises the recommendations for preferred dimensions which are described in more detail in three departmental publications which are being issued simultaneously with it.
These are:
Ministry of Public Building and Works.
"Dimensional Co-ordination for Crown Office Buildings".
Department of Education and Science.
Building Bulletin "Controlling Dimensions for Educational Buildings".
Ministry of Health.
Addendum to Hospital Design Note No. 1 and Appendix II "Dimensional Co-ordination and Industrialised Building".
I believe that these publications represent a considerable step forward in the development and application of dimensional co-ordination to public building programmes.
