HC Deb 09 March 1981 vol 1000 c246W
28. Mr. Palmer

asked the Secretary of State for Industry when he expects his discussions with the Council of Engineering Institutions on his proposed Royal Charter for the establishment of an Engineering Council to be completed.

Mr. Michael Marshall

We are seeking the broad agreement of all concerned, including the Council of Engineering Institutions. This inevitably taks a little time, but I am still hoping that we can reach agreement shortly.
