I think it might help if I reply immediately on the more straightforward issues that you raise, and I will write to you further on other points as soon as I have managed to carry out the research. : : i ear face I think many of your points are answered in the enclosed copy Ofmauens summarised history of the ARCUK Code, together with a copy of the first edition in 1936. The following are my preliminary observations on your: questions: - 1. The only reference to disgraceful conduct is contained in ; Section 7 of the principal Act (copy enclosed). There is no reference to a Code in any of the legislation. 3. It is my view that disgraceful conduct has never been formally 4. interpreted legally but I will look into this. : _5. The enclosed history will tell you all you need to know. 6. No. Yo Bo 8. The question is a little too sweeping. If a situation arose where the Act and the Code appeared to be in conflict then clearly ~ theCode would have to give way but only to the extent that the Act takes precedence. - 2. I find myself in some difficulty here because of the wording you use. The Code has no ‘legal standing’ but it is a guide which the profession follows. Strictly speaking one can be guilty of disgraceful conduct without breaking the terms of the Code and conversely there are circumstances in which one can break the terms of the Code without committing disgraceful conduct. f 9. The usually quoted case where an appeal was lodged to the High Court against a decision of the Council was the Hughes v ARCUK in 1957. I enclose herewith a copy of the relevant passage from the Judgment. I will check whether there have been any other cases. =aeita ates / ye advising against. etc. History of the ARCUK Code On 11 March, 1932, the Council received a report of the Committee of Ways and Means which contained, inter alia, a recommendation that a Code of Professional Conduct was desirable despite having received Counsel's Opinion to the undesirability of advertisements by surveyors who were also architects. The Council, in debating the matter, considered — if there was to be a Code - that it could be built up gradually by means of the precedents from the Discipline Committee; or the Council could give architects proposing to register It was agreed at this meeting to defer a recommendation to draft a Code, partly because there were a number of other tasks urgently needing action and partly because in any event the Discipline Committee could not be appointed for some months. ‘ : In March 1934 the PPC recommended the Council to inform an architect "that it is unprofessional and contrary to 2stablished custom to advertise". This was Another architect at the same time was seeking information about his position with regard to advertising, hidden commissions; soliciting and trading, and pointing out that the Act made no provision for a Code. He was told that, in general, these were matters of unprofessional conduct and contrary to established custom but it was for the Discipline Committee to decide what was disgraceful. The architect challenged this reply, pointing out that no Code had been approved by the Privy Council, and asked if the RIBA Code "with all its loose application" was accepted in the Courts. Another architect was informed it was not in accordance with established custom for an architect to trade as a builder. It was for the Discipline Committee It was also "not in accordance with established custom for an architect to engage in trade”. (Very broad statement‘) Other cases dealt with alleged supplanting (referred to D.C.) and soliciting and supplanting; and the Chartered Surveyors were asked to refer in their Code some idea of what they must not do. to stop newspaper advertisements. ” spirit common to the codes." 2. There was however a hold up with regard to referring cases to the Discipline Committee because they had no regulations yet. After a motion had been received from an architect which ended with the following words "That this Council give a ruling that may serve as a guide to the public and the profession as to what may be considered ‘established custom’ and what conduct would normally lie outside such ‘established custom’. (Code of Practice) That sanction be obtained from the Privy Council for such regulations” the PPC approved the principle of a Code of Professional Conduct which banned architects from advertising "his architectural services publicly", "receiving commission not disclosed" and "soliciting work by means of Ppaid agents" In due course however, and before any ARCUK Code had been formulated, the Discipline Committee had heard its first case, where mention was made to two Codes - that of the RIBA and that of the TAAS, and the Discipline Committee Report contains the following paragraphs: é cs "(g) Each code must embody, its existence would be meaningless unless it did embody, those rules of conduct which its framers and administrators hold to be binding on themselves as practitioners of an honourable calling, while every professional man knows that many such rules express the solution of doubts which have arisen in practice. A practitioner who has any cause to doubt what his own course of action ought to be can seek guidance in the solutions tested by experience (or formulated by expen oos persons), and set forth in the codes, The essential features of both codes, it must be believed, would in spirit be accepted by the architectural profession even had they remained unwritten, and the Committee conceives itself entitled to apply these codes in the interpretation of Section 7 of the Act and to find a registered person guilty of conduct disgraceful in an architect if he be shewn to have contravened the The Council received a further Counsel's Opinion dated August 1934 which ~ contained a preference to "allow a code as to professional conduct to grow up gradually by means of publication and circulation from time to time” of Discipline Committee decisions. This view was based on the idea that it would leave the Council "unfettered by definitions of professional misconduct" whereas a "specified and definite code” would make it difficult for the Council to remove a man from the Register "unless his conduct were ‘shown to fall within y. the four corners of the code". pursue”. comments. to approve the draft Code.) remained unaltered until 1945. However, the Opinion did state that the Council could, without statutory authority, publish and send to registered persons "a statement enumerating practices or modes of conduct which they consider it undesirable for registered persons to A copy of the March 1936 Code is attached from which it will be seen that it Again the Council were reminded that the Act contained no express power to formulate a code as to professional conduct or misconduct. The Council was also advised that the Privy Council "would probably be reluctant -to give their Sanction to a code of professional conduct dealing (of necessity) with matters as to which a wide diversity of views might be held. This statement should contain no reference to Section 7 of the Act and should show on the face of it that it was published merely for guidance. In June 1935 the Council were informed that the PPC were drawing up a draft statement as referred to in the above paragraphs’ A suggestion/that che Draft Code, together with Scale of Fees and Conditions of Engagement, be submitted to all bodies mentioned in the First Schedule, and to every registered person for On 20 March 1936 the Council had before it a "draft Code of Professional Conduct for Registered Architects" for the guidance of architects which was submitted by the PPC who had resolved unanimously that it be submitted to Cannes "as an agreed document".. In submitting the Draft the Committee said since it had received unanimous approval in Committee to refer it to the constituent bodies would cause unnecessary delay. They proposed however to send copies to all registered persons but without inviting comments, but to invite-the Unattached architects to forward comments to one of the Council members they had elected. (One Council member elected by the Unattached dissented from the decision to In December 1944 the PPC recommended that the Code be revised generally. This arose from Counsel's Opinion obtained to assist in dealing with questions concerning architects inyolved in property development - buying and selling land and buildings. registered person. branches to discuss the new Principles. 4. In February 1945 the Council had a draft revised Code before them in a totally In November 1945 the PPC reported to Council on the comments received from the RIBA on the draft, but some of the RIBA suggestions were not accepted. One different format and it was agreed that the draft be submitted to the constituent bodies and to the representatives of the Unattached architects for observations. This draft Code consisted of a Preamble, Principles and Examples. Counsel was asked to vet the final version; and in March 1946 the Council Early in 1960 the Code was reprinted in a new format; and because there had been a number 6f amendments made to it since 1955, a copy was sent to every Again the Code was subject to a number of amendments/clarifications and in June 1969 the PPC were again asked to review the Code as a whole and to report back to the Council. As the RIBA were also looking at their Code as a whole it was agreed in October 1969 to set up an ad hoc joint working group to enable the zwo bodies to proceed in step. By March 1970 a preliminary draft of the Principles and Rules of Professional Conduct was ready and it was agreed it be circulated to the architectural constituent bodies for discussion. In June 1970 the Council were informed that meetings were being held in the RIBA Regions and or two comments had also been received from the ABT and AA. In December 1948 the Code was amended to give a time limit after which architects could not be house agents or auctioneers. The RIBA, IAAS, AA and ABT approved; FAS had made no comments and the Unattached had divergent views, but agreed to go along. : at After the Code had been amended a number of times, on 17 October, 1952, the Council resolved that the PPC should review the Code "as a whole in its relation to the Codes of any of the constituent bodies of the Council", if necessary conferring with such bodies. A Sub-Committee of the PPC was set up and in October 1954 a draft new Code was submitted to ‘Council and finally approved in December 1954 for circulation to the profession with the 1955 Annual Report. Its format was not dissimilar from the previous Codes. were informed that a new Code had been published.” The work on amending the Code was then taken over by the RIBA but in March 1975 the Council were informed that the PPC had asked the Registrar to send T’.copies of the draft Code to the other architectural constituent bodies. Eventually a new Code, different in form and format but not greatly different in meaning was published on 1 January 1976. a © ' © F Architects’ Registration Council of the United Kingdom 68, PORTLAND PLACE, W.1. Code of Professional Conduct for Architects The following Rules have been drawn up for the guidance of architects.

I cannot accept the argument that the term "diseraceful” is in any sense a term of art. In accordance with the usual rule it is to be given its natural and popular meaning. But it is qualified by the phrase "in his capacity as an architect". The effect of that qualification is twofold. First, the conduct must not only be what would ordinarily be considered aeerecesale but it must also be a disgrace which affects hin professionally; to that extent the qualification diminishes the term. sgoondlky, conduct which is not disgraceful for an ) ordinary man may be disgraceful for a professional man: to that extent the qualification amplifies the term. But the amplification does not require that "disgraceful" is to be given any technical meaning: it requires only that the ordinary meaning of the word should be applied in relation to the special obligations and duties of a professional man. It must not be forgotten that if the finding of the Committee stands, anyone may hereafter say of Mr. Hughes with impunity that he was struck off the register for disgraceful conduct and may add that that means what it says.

SERVICES We would like to thank you for Tuesday's very useful meeting to discuss the abandonment of architects' mandatory fee scale and I would like to summarize our position as follows The Mandatory Minimum Fee having been abandoned, architects should be free to compete in terms of fee as well as quality of service The removal of the Fee Scale's mandatory status can be speedily and simply achieved by requiring ARCUK to amend its rules (as scheduled in Way Ahead). This would enable all architects who wish to depart from the Monopiy to do so Any new recommended fee systems should be based on ranges of architects' own costs instead of the discredited 'ad valorem! method It may be considered simplest for the Government (DoE) to prepare the primary recommended fee scale for its own use in assessing value for money in public sector commissions thus avoiding the additional administration and expense of a new agency Recommended fee scales may be prepared by other bodies both within and outside the profession provided the following conditions are observed a) Copies are deposited with Minister for Consumer Affairs ° b) ‘The non-mandatory status is clearly printed on all documents in which reference to the fee scale is made The Government should conduct periodic reviews (the first within 3 years) to ensure that a de facto monoyiy is not being established through RIBA dominance . It may be appropiate to consider providing the OFT with these review powersein the proposed Competition Bill. The apparently enhanced competative conditions arising from architectural design competitions must be set against the disadvantages of considerable abortive work and time and reduced client influence in the development of the brief and we feel that design competitions would thus continue to be of benefit in only limited circumstances A (pit(4 DAVID ROEBUCK On Behalf Of JOHN ALLAN ROBERT MALTZ JOHN MURRAY Yours sincerely Our proposals now combine the benefits of competition in both quality and fee in suggesting that architects in competing for a commission should include a fee quotation alongside full information as to their experience, resources and capabilities. Quotations should be explicit as to architects costs and could be presented in the format drafted in Appendix I of our report. (vidi) Fee quotation and then negotiation would probably be the most effective method given the obvious disadvantages of straight ES tendering. As agreed, a straight tendering system apart from being vulnerable to the dangers of "ringing" would reduce the client's opportunity to take into account considerations of quality when assessing commissions in terms of value for money. Conversely negotiation alone with a selected architect does not meet the criteria of increased competition (ix) We consider it most unlikely that architects would be tempted to work uneconomically for the temporary advantage of obtaining commissions but we would expect that the enhanced climate for competition would encourage a considerably greater diversity of services available to the consumer With regard to your question as to the possible RIBA response to the adoption of these proposals we consider this less likely to be a bang than a whimper. We should be glad to assist in any costing exercise that the Government may initiate and trust that in the event of any further discussions on this or related matters with your department, the OFT or the DoE we hope that the 'Unattached' representing nearly 20% of the profession continue to be consulted.

ACTS 188! TO 1838 73 Hallam Street London W1N 6EE Tel: 01-580 5861 Registrar: Kenneth J. Forder M.A, Dear Mr. Maltz, 10 July 1979 Robert Maltz Esq. 14 Holmdale Road London N W 6 Yours sincerely, a nree November 7 November 13 (16 November in 1978) October 31 Send Forms A & B to printer for setting as far as possible. Specimens attached Last date for receiving membership details from constituent bodies Printout of the names of over 4000 Unattached in numerical order, TIMETABLE FOR UNATTACHED ELECTION October 1 Ask Unattached representatiyes if they are willing to serve again if nominated and elected & November 20 Let printer have outstanding details to complete Forms A & B Ask constituent bodies to let us have membership details as at as well as the count of membership of constituent bodies have to be obtained from computer bureau in time to report to the November meeting of the F&GPC. We might be able to get these details in slightly earlier from the bureau but we have to supply data as at 31 October, so there is little room for manoeuvre, About 4/5 days to get forms back. An address label (from computer) supplied on a continuous sheet has to stuck manually on Form A, and both forms inserted in a window envelope. Over 4000 have to be done and by enlisting all staff we have managed to get the job done in 4/5 days in the past. Last year the Unattached representatives included a Newsletter in the circulation which is an added factor in the operation. A special Post Office collection has to be arranged. Envelopes have to be tied up in bundles of 50 and put into sacks which have to be labelled. A day needs to be allowed for this since if the number of envelopes for posting does not agree with the total number of Unattached they have to be rechecked. e& November30 ThisisthelastdayforpostingaccordingtotheRegulations. Inthe past we have managed to get the forms out about 4 days earlier but this depends on how the weekends fall. The consignment to the 400 Unattached architects has always been sent 2nd class post until now When the Nominations (Form B) come in they have to be checked against tke printout, the number of nominations recorded against each name and a record kept of the number of nominations received by each candidate. Notifications from architects who have joined one of the constituent bodies are received. These have to be crossed off the list, their numbered envelopes taken opt and kept in a separate pile, and the label removed if the stage of sticking on the large envelopes has not been reached. If it has take out large envelope and extract voting envélope and keep. Unattached who have not received papers, because they have just dropped out of the RIBA or something, telephone or write and ask for papers because they have heard they are going around. The above procedure has to be reversed in these cases, Acareful check has to be kept on insertions and deletions so that the final number is accurate. January 2 Before the middle of January the following processing must be completed 1. each name on the nominal roll printout has to be given a serial voter's number; Ze each voter's envelope has to be stamped with the individual voter's number; of address labels removed from adhesive sheet and stuck on large envelope; 4. insert in large envelope, voter's envelope, and scrutineers' envelope but the worst job of all is checking each name and voter's envelope number against the list to see that the correctly numbered envelope for each name is put in the right envelope. 1-4 is done in advance of the Voting Papers and Particulars of Candidates being received because to insert 2 (or 3) forms in the large envelopes takes as much time as we can afford at the end of the month. Last date for receiving nomination forms — Unattached candidates who have not previously been on the Council seem to have difficulty in getting six nominations and these have always come in at the last minute. By reducing the time from 4 weeks to 2 it could be that new candidates would have difficulty in getting the required number of nominations. From our point of view making the last date for receiving nominations 15 December does not help much. No printing is done between 20 December and 2 January. Between 15 and 20 December the Christmas post rush is on so it it is unlikely that anything can be delivered any earlier anyway. None of Form C and Particulars can be set in advance so nothing can be done to help here. Collating, typing and checking the particulars to forward for printing has to take priority over everything else. 200 words in 1980 adds to the task. It seems too with each year that the number of candidates increases. At best nothing could be posted before 16 December. Forms C etc. back from printer. Insert in large envelopes already processed as above. Arrange a Special collection again as outlined above. Last day for posting in accordance with the Regulations. In the past we have always managed to post 3/4 days before this date. This consignment has always been sent by 2nd class post. January 24 January 31 Count votes February 7 Last date for votes to be received As soon as the scrutineers' envelopes start coming in they have to be Counted and the number recorded each day Voter's envelope taken out and slit Sorted in numerical order Checked against voter's list to see that the signature agrees with the name against the number & 13 candidates for 9 places February 13 Very last day for results of election to be sent to all candidates. This is to be in time to report to the F&GPC meetin March 1 March 7 Last date for receiving above for inclusion in Annual Meeting pa] Now take voting paper from envelope Last year 772 voting papers received 737 counted 5104 votes cast Successful candidates have to liaise with each other to decide on their nominations under the Gentlemen's Agreement for the Board and Committees, as well as any nominations they wish to put forward for free election. These nominations need to be seconded and biograp ical details supplied. Very last date for Ordinary March meeting and Annual Meeting papers to go out.

PRESENT: John Allan Bob Maltz Giles Pe body David Burney Mick Broad Ken Thorpe (part) Ian Cooper (part) David Roebuck APOLOGIES: Eddie Walker Norman Arnold ANNUAL REVIEW: Generally and ''Code': John Allan:- (11) That the work on thecode put the u/a firmly in the No. 2 seat and by our "intimate" incorporation in its drafting recognisedtheu/aasanumerouseae ens ((sisiat)) oo A need for our cooperation because we are/"unreliable" to be left out (viz monopolies) and the need for the RIBA not to push something through on the strength of an RIBA vote. (iv) The result was consensus policies and it was necessary to elucidate this and how it would shape further action. Bob Maltz:- (i) Too much time, resources and commitment was being devoted to ARCUK at the expense of NAM. NAM was weak as a result and therefore there was a need to re-orientate and re-direct resources back to NAM. Debate between mainly BM and JSA over whether the extensive commitment and detailed work within ARCUK was the most effective way to achieve NAM's aims, in summary these arguments were The current work particularly on the code was probably the climax of all the previous work done by NAM on Code and Monopolies and that we had primarily achieved our objective of driving a wedge between RIBA and ARCUK. (ii) The emphasis of working within ARCUK blinkered our overview. ((aislit)) (iv) It was restated that our primary aim was that "ARCUK is to be a public interest body and not a front for the RIBA". Board of Architectural Education: It was decided to direct more effort to the BAE this year. As the BAE had in theory a lay majority and that we should be re-orientating the BAE by exploiting and by suggesting possible well known lay contacts on to ARCUK visiting boards. PRAP was preparing a report for Council on Continuing Education and that the u/a should nominate a councillor in order to prepare a minority report. Further NAM nominees to be put up for visiting boards and criteria to be challenged. "Clean Up" Campaign: Finnieston Report : Government had decided not to implement the report and create a statutory registration standards to be formed instead. No further action. Changes in Building Regulations: David Burney had written to Heseltine putting forward u/a's views. It appeared that Heseltine was now backtracking on self—certification. lay representation body. A bodyon educational We should be pursuing our aims with respect to ARCUK outside, i.e. through press, Privy Council, Legal and by building alliances outside e.g. Unions, M.P.s. We should be using our ARCUK status for pursuing other aims rather than solely pursuing our aims within ARCUK. The debate was rather wide ranging and generally unresolved at present but as our work on the Code was shortly to end this would be an opportunity to change direction. It was agreed that the letter prepared for all the nominating authorities should be re-drafted and used in the press rather than risk upsetting those existing nominees who were sympathetic to our aims. No actions since solicitors letter. Work to be directed to considering proposals for re-scheduling schedule I of the Act rather than attempting some legal "nice ones". Monopolies: Keyte: Committee Representation: Bob Maltz as reserve. D.B. to contact B.A. PPC —- Edward Walker Norman Arnold GPC - Giles Peabody David Roebuck Admissions - Mick Broad ANO Free election BAE —- Alan Lipman and ANO PPC —- David Roebuck John Allan to see if interested. This work was now at an end in ARCUK's terms as all our criteria were being met by the proposed new code. It was decided that if ARCUK voted not to remove him from the register that we should ensure that there is adequate press coverage. Press to be pre-briefed. More importantly what is our general attitude to criminal convictions. After some debate it was agreed that there were three class of convictions that we considered merited removal from the register and that these were: (i) conviction of an offence in connection with the practice of architecture resulting in death - indefinite removal. (ii) convictions of an offence in connection with the practice of architecture with no death involved, e.g. corruption or tax frauds. (iii) Convictions of an offence not connected with the practice of architecture, removal from register for period of prison term. Where no prison term set, but fine instead, then no removal. It was provisionally agreed as follows. Gentlemen's agreement. BAE - David Burney, Brian Anson. GPC - 6 others to be decided. Discipline - Mick Broad Also D.R. to be nominated for Chairman of Council and J.S.A. as vice Chairman. Future Strategy: D.R. 20.2.80. It was agreed that new initiatives would evolve during the year and must be more NAM based. As 1981 was ARCUK's 50th anniversary a working group is to be formed to prepare "our" version of ARCUK's history and purpose and which could be used to launch a programme for ARCUK's reform and re-constitution. The group will start meeting at the end of March when the Code work is mainly out of the way. J.S.A. to approach Malcolm McEwan and D.R. to prepare list draft agenda and to anchor. J.S.A. christened group "Quinquagenary Quango" or QQQ for short.

Title A name given to the resource Report on Professional Issues Group Meeting, Feb 1980 Description An account of the resource to *an Cooper. The PIG group convened at an unusual and outst.naing londmork Aron Sebruary 22nd — 24th to discuss current and future issues concerning NAM, SLATE and ARCUK. The venue was the Tower Mill, a disused windmill at Burham Overy Staithe on the Norfolk coast. ie were unfortunately not able to explore the be: utiful surrounding countryside as time was short and the issues were MANY e It was pointed out during the weekend that many people do not understand the term "unattached", especially in relation to ARCUK councillors. It was also noted that these"unatt«ched" councillors were the only elected ones on ARCUK. A decision was therefore taken to refer to them as "elected" councillors as opposed to RIBA or other constituent body "nominee" councillors. whether or not this title will stick remains to be seen, but they will be referred to as such for the purposes of this «rticle. During the weekend we decided to carry out an initial colletion exercise of replies received so far from the elected ARCUK councillors' questionnaire published recently in the AJ, or which there were some 500-600. At the time of writing this article the full analysis is not available. However two points worthy of note were: 1) The vast majority of RIBA members who replied were in favour of direct election of councillors to ARCUK; 2) A considerable number of unattached architects had not received nomination or election papers for the ARCUK elections this year. This information led to a lengthy debate concerning the apportionment of seats on the Council together with general conuuct and the obstruction of business within the council chamber. These discussions finally manifested "The Burham Charter" iteport_on Professional Issues Yroup (PIG) meeting 22nd—24th Mebruary. 11580) Nor forwarding to SLATH/NAM Lieison Group ifter omissions end udditions by PIG members. Vistribution to «11 PIG members, Please forward any amendments ate to head the "Clean up ARCUK" campaign, the draft of which is published here, TO BH INSERTED An upproach to the elected oounoillors ‘by, another non— architect ARCUK councillor, intending to mediate between our— selves and the RIVA, wis discussed. It was generally felt however that while not wishing to detract from Nr. Leggatt's worthy intentions, more positive action and democratic behaviour in the Council chamber could be brought about by promotion and Giscussion of the Burham Cherter. Initizl moves to establish communications with the Hlectoral ‘eform Society concerning ARCUK elections heve as yet not met with great enthusiasm, as they apparently consider their province covers the conduct of the election machinery as it exists and mot constitutional arrangements, even if these were considered "faulty beyond tolerance". Another major debate of the weekend revolved around amendments to the Code of Conduct, particularly in relation to directorships, advertising and limited liability. A strong argument was put in favour of allowing these on the grounds that in practice they all but exist enywey, often to the disadventage of unettached architects. Amendments to the Code allowing them would help to destroy ahy misapprehensions the lay public may be under about the professionwl integrity of many architects, and this action could thus be considered to be in the public interest. This strong and prepmatic argument for operating within the capitalist system was, however, not adhered to unanimously and uniortimetely the fain opponents to the idea on fundamental ideological and ethical grounds were not present to put forward their vicws. A small amount of timejas apent discussing outside funding for PIG, such as chariteble trusts. These arguments were reminiscent of past NAM Liaison Group discussions and no real conclusion was reached. ate Time was set aside for discussion on the future of NAM and SLATE, bearing in mind the decision of the last Congress to holda special conference this spring on the future strategies of NAM. The concensus appeared to be that NAM was essential as a focal point in order to identify the issues for which it stood. iio discussion took place regardingthe future form of NAM except that the orginisation of an Annual Congress end AGM should definitely continue, providing an open forum for debate. It appears that local groupe continue on their own momentum regardless of whether or not they come under the NAM umbrella. In both Cardiff and Leeds regular local meetings and action continue although largely unreported nationally in SLATE. It might help if the communication network could be strengthened. The London group is upparently about tovbe resurrected from the grave due to the efforts of Ken Pierce among others. It is understood that they intend to organise a series of discussions on current issues during the comingyear, and it was suggested at the Burham PIG gatheriny that these could be focussed on subject-orientated forums discussing the effects of the cuts and how to conbat them. The key to all these suggestions appears to revolve eround SLATE, which it is understood is in desperate need of both sHilled labour and material on NAN groups! activities, interests and opinions. While nothing particularly constructive was forth— coming on how to solve ‘the labour problem, it wes suggested that SLATE should at least ( or most) reduce its publications to 4 per annum (assuming finance and lahour are forthcoming). “evarding material, PIG resolved to make u more concerted effort to keep NAN and particularly SLATE regularly informed of ell its activities, provisionally using Ian Cooper as 4 collecting point for forwarding information.

August, 1978 I am writing to you about the joint ICOM/BDS conference on alternative forms of architectural practice, which was planned for the autumn. We had started to compile a short list of people we thought should be invited : e.g. someone we know from a law centre who knows a lot about co-operative structures, people from other professional co-operatives etc. But when we phoned David Marshall of ICOM about this, he told us that it was going to be a meeting of about half a dozen people, and he grudgingly agreed that maybe someone fram Support could attend. Although we agree with keeping the numbers to, say, two dozen-or so, his proposal sounds totally useless. If it goes ahead we at Support would probably have to set up our own session on alternative forms of practice. This would te a regrettable duplication of energies, but unavoidable from our point of view if we are really to get clear in detail what the available alter- natives are. When we contacted Bob Malz about this, he said that he had been too busy to take- it all on, and suggested that we could take over the organising with ICOM and Ian Tod. Apart from what we at Support think about it, as a member of BDS/TASS I am concerned that it seems to be turning into something quite different In any case, there is some urgency about their plans. If you agree that the situation needs some sorting out, could you write to David Marshall at ICOM, 31 Hare Street, London SE18 (Tel. 01.855.4099). Perhaps the best way to resolve things would be to set up a meeting with you or someone else from the branch committee and ICOM, at which we could be represented.

Forder Registrar ARCUK 73 Hallam Street London WIN 6EE Dear Mr. Forder , I enclose a copy of my Practice Information sheet for you to hold . I was concerned to read in this week's Building design’ a claim that the RIBA Community Architecture Working Group has drawn up a "National last of all architects with experience of community architecture including ......." It wants this list to be operated through the RIBA @lients advisory service . I wonder af you could write to the RIBA pointing out that any such statements made by them should make it clear that their " national list" is of RIBA members and not of " all architects " . There are a substaftial number of architects with the kidd of experience described by the RIBA CAWG as TM community architecture " who age not members of the RIBA and to the best of my knowledge have not beeh approached to be on this list . This list cannot, therefore be one of all architectswith this experience . J would think that you should also be concerned at the way the RIBA CAWG is publicising experience of'community architecture’ as though it were a qualification . Having been a leader in this field for many years I have always tried to handle the concept carefully and refer to it in inverted commas . However the public might easizy be misled into thinking that this term is a recognised specialisation of qualification . Please get in touch if you would like to discuss these points with me but I would expect meanwhile that you ensure the RIBA puts out factually correct statements . yours sincerely Tom Woolley July 28 1978 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource TW Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived John Murray Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource July 1978 Subject The topic of the resource Notes of Unattached Representative meeting.
