HL Deb 11 October 2004 vol 665 c8WA
Lord Howie of Troon

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will consider appointing a chief engineering adviser to represent the profession to the Government; as recently called for by the Institution of Civil Engineers. [HL4196]

Lord Sainsbury of Turville

There is no intention of appointing a chief engineering adviser to the Government, as there is already a Chief Scientific Advisor, whose remit includes engineering issues.
