HC Deb 20 February 1967 vol 741 c205W
77. Mr. Boardman

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what experimental work is being carried out in connection with the ducting of water, electricity and gas mains for new road works in urban areas; and what progress is being made.

Mr. Prentice

The Committee which I recently set up under the chairmanship of Sir Donald Gibson, will study the co-ordination of underground services on building sites, and will consider the possibilities of ducting. Road works generally are not my responsibility.
