    POST-WAR BUILDING STUDIES The series of Reports being published under the title of Post-War Building Stu owes its origin to a desire expressed by professional and other institutions connected — with the building and civil engineering industries to assist and support the Ministry . of Works in regard to post-war plans. During the latter part of 1941 the then Minister; iff order to take advantage of these offers of assistance, which he was receiging front all quarters, encouraged the establishment of a series of Committees to investigate and report on the major problems which were likely to affect peace- time building. He also offered, on behalf of the Ministry, to provide the necessary staff and organisation to co-ordinate the various inquiries, in such a way as to avoid duplication of effort and to secure so far as possible uniform direction and policy.

The Minister gratefully acknowledges the work of the Committees and the valuable assistance given both by the various convening — bodies and by the individual members.
