HC Deb 09 November 1971 vol 825 c124W
Mr. Redmond

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether, in considering the future relationship of the Joint Fire Research Organisation and the Forest Products Research Laboratory with the Building Research Station, he will give an assurance that timber and fire interests will be distinctly and adequately represented on the Steering Committee of the enlarged Station.

Mr. Peter Walker

No firm decision has yet been taken about the future relationship of the Joint Fire Research Organisation and the Forest Products Research Laboratory with the Building Research Station. Whatever the final decision I intend to maintain adequate advisory links with the timber and fire interests.
