HC Deb 08 March 1965 vol 708 cc4-5W
Mr. Gresham Cooke

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works from what Government agency local authorities and others concerned with large-scale building should seek official building technology advice.

Mr. Boyden

The National Building Agency will give local housing authorities and others technical and management advice on the use of modern building methods. This Department's Directorate General of Research and Development and the Building Research Station, for which my right hon. Friend the Minister of Technology is to take responsibility, provide information about current research and development. Other Departments advise on specific types of building, such as schools and hospitals, which are their primary concern.
