§ Mr. Michael Lathamasked the Secretary of State for Environment on how many occasions since 16th October 1975 his Action Committee on Dimensional Co-ordination has met; and what specific action has followed from those meetings.
§ Mr. FreesonThe Action Committee has met four times since 16th October 1976. It has reviewed the situation and identified specific areas for further action. It has set up study groups to consider in more detail two of these areas: one study group is examining the costs and benefits of dimensional co-ordination in order to select the most beneficial areas for action; the other is exploring how best dimensional co-ordination can be covered in education and training.
The Committee will be reporting to the National Consultative Council of the Building and Civil Engineering Industries in due course, but its main aim is to stimulate action by those concerned as it identifies particular needs.
