    14 June, 1951.] [Continued. Chairman. 3928. There is no enquiry?—There has been a general examination of the adminis- trative staffs of regional boards, a separate one, but if I may say so we have not attempted to lay down ourselves as a policy either that all the architectural work of all regions should be undertaken in the regional offices or that it should not. We have left that to be a matter of local discretion. 3929. You are expressing the view that there might well be duplication without waste ?—There may be. 3930. In that there is a difference in func- tion between one body and the other?—Yes. 3931. You could not say offhand whether in fact it is not rather overdone, and that there may be some waste?—-There may be, but that I should hope our visiting teams would pick up. Chairman. Thank you very much indeed, Gentle- men. I think we shall not have need to trouble you again, if you could let us have the various pieces of information for which we have asked.
