§ Mr. G. Johnson Smithasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps he has taken to assist managers and governors of voluntary schools in taking advantage of modern techniques of industrialised building.
§ Mr. HoggThe voluntary school bodies received copies of my Department's Circular 1/64 which deals with 217W industrialised building and educational building consortia. Officers of my Department have recently spoken on these themes at a conference of voluntary school authorities and their architects. A building productivity group has been established within the Department to advise on more efficient ways of building schools in both industrialised and traditional methods of construction. The Department will act as agent for any promoters of voluntary school projects who wish to use a consortium system.
