  1. (2) what the term of office is of the Chairman of the construction industry advisory group, Movement for Innovation; [126170]
  2. (3) if he will review the appointment of the present Chairman of the construction industry advisory group, Movement for Innovation, taking account of his resignation as managing director of a building company. [126171]

Mr. Raynsford

The appointment and term of office of the Chairman of the Movement for Innovation Board are matters for the Board. He has never received any payment or expenses for his work as Chairman. The Movement for Innovation Board and their Chairman have played an important role in promoting radical change in the construction industry and have had a major impact in little more than 18 months. I applaud the very considerable contribution they have made.
