HC Deb 19 May 1971 vol 817 cc287-8W
35. Mr. Knox

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what his Department is doing to encourage the use of industrialised building for multistorey construction.

Mr. Amery

My Department has developed industrialised systems in both precast concrete and steel framework. Considerable encouragement has also been given to the use of these systems in both the public and private sector. In particular the public building frame is a precast concrete system which has been applied successfully to more than 40 government buildings throughout the country either completed or in progress.
