- Abstract
- On 27th January 1954, your predecessor Mr. James Stuart, M.V.O., M.C., M.P., appointed us as a Committee with the following terms of reference: "To examine the existing law for the general regulation of building in Scotland so far as it relates to the control of building standards by the Secretary of State and by local authorities; to consider the extent of the jurisdiction exercised by the Dean of Guild Courts as regards building standards; and to recommend what changes may be necessary to secure a control of building standards which would operate as uniformly as possible in counties and burghs, and be flexible enough to take account of the development of new techniques and materials." We now have the honour to submit our Report.
