§ Mrs. DunwoodyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the names, qualifications and employing organisations of the Government's funded representatives on each BSI committee; and what arrangements he proposes to make for Government representation on each committee in the event of the transfer of the Building Research Establishment executive agency to the private sector. [11363]
§ Mr. Robert B. JonesA list of representatives funded by the Department of the Environment of BSI committees has been deposited with the Library of the House. That list shows the information requested except the qualifications of each individual, which are not recorded centrally. The expertise of Building Research Establishment staff is expected to remain available to assist with the representation of government interests in the development of standards following the transfer of BRE to the private sector.
