Industry fears government could scrap chief construction adviser

摘要

Fears emerged this week that ministers could scrap the role of the chief construction adviser. Construction minister Mark Prisk said he could not confirm whether the role held by Paul Morrell would survive a two-year review in November. Prisk said Morrell has been a useful presence and that he would like to see his role continue. But when pressed to confirm that it would be safe from spending cuts, he would only say that the adviser post was "a good role".
