HC Deb 10 February 1970 vol 795 c301W
Mr. Edward M. Taylor

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what steps he has taken to co-ordinate the work of the Agrément Board and the Building Research Station regarding the testing of products submitted for consideration for Agrément Certificates.

Mr. Loughlin

The Agrément Board has sole responsibility for deciding on the work, including testing, to be undertaken in relation to products submitted for Agrément assessment, but makes extensive use, on repayment terms, of the test facilities at the Building Research Station. It also co-operates closely with B.R.S. on research and development aspects of testing.
