HC Deb 16 April 1973 vol 855 c1W
14. Mr. Booth

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he has received a report on the monopoly control of registration of engineers which the Council of Engineering Institutions was asked by him to provide not later than 31st August 1972.

Mr. Michael Heseltine

The request was made not by my right hon. Friend the then Secretary of State but by the Privy Council. No specific reply has been received. Urgent steps are currently being taken to find a solution to this difficult problem by my officials in concert with the Council of Engineering Institutions.
