§ Mr. George Cunninghamasked the Secretary of State for the Environment under whose authority the Awards for Good Design in Housing 1976 were recently issued; who appointed the committee making the awards; who were the members of the committee; and if he will ensure that, in future, Members of Parlia- 874W ment for an area in which an award is made are informed.
§ Mr. FreesonThe scheme has been in operation for 16 consecutive years under successive Ministers of Housing. There are nine regional committees and a further national committee which assesses public sector dwellings specially designed for disabled people. Each committee consists of two architects nominated by the President of the Royal Institute of British Architects, a housing manager nominated by the Institute of Housing, a nominee of the National House Building Council and an architect nominated by myself. I have arranged for details of future awards to be lodged in the Library of the House, and I will write to hon. Members for the areas in which awards are made.
