HC Deb 25 July 1966 vol 732 c175W
28. Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what steps he is taking towards prescribing a standard colour code for public utility underground pipes and cables.

Mr. Boyden

Within buildings, the coding of service cables is covered by a British Standard: B.S. 1710/60. The Ministry's Directorate General of Research and Development has recently begun an investigation into the problems of co-ordinating building site services. The use of a colour code will be considered.
