HC Deb 19 November 1973 vol 864 cc299-300W
32. Mr. Terry Davis

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will make a statement on his discussions with the Council of Engineering Institutions about the registration of engineers.

Mr. Michael Heseltine

I have agreed with the Council of Engineering Institutions that, in the context of EEC, mutual recognition will need to be extended to suitably qualified engineers, whether they are in membership of institutions inside or outside the CEI. There is still one major issue to be resolved and I shall be continuing discussions to that end.
