HC Deb 29 April 1968 vol 763 c103W
20. Mr. Goodhart

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works whether he will make a statement about the progress of the Winterbottom Committee on maintenance; and when its first report will be published.

Mr. Mellish

The Committee on Building Maintenance, of which my Noble Friend the Parliamentary Secretary is Chairman, has now completed studies of the execution of maintenance and of training for maintenance work. The need for additional research and development in maintenance technology is being considered and a conference on this subject was held last week. I expect to receive a Report on these and other topics during the summer.
