§ Mr. Michael Lathamasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he has yet completed his review of whether all staff in the professional and technology group in the Property Services Agency, including architects, can be given titles which would make specific mention of their respective disciplines; how prior to 2nd February 1976 this review began, following the proposals of the Matthew-Skillington Report of 1974; and what are the specific obstacles to an early solution to this matter.
§ Mr. MarksThe staff in the Professional and Technology Group in the PSA comprise a wide range of disciplines. There are differences of opinion amongst the various interests about the suitability of the present grade titles, which in fact already indicate the individual's discipline. Attempts have been made since 1972 to achieve a consensus of opinion, and consideration will be continued as opportunity occurs.
