| The Construction Industry Council (CIC) has commented on the decision by the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (BIS) to restructure the Construction Leadership Council (CLC), scrap the Council's Delivery Group, and abolish the role of Government’s Chief Construction Advisor (CCA) While the CIC has welcomed the renewed emphasis on dialogue it expressed disappointment at the Government’s decision to discontinue the role of the Chief Construction Adviser. Tony Burton, CIC Chairman, a former member of the CLC and senior partner at Gardiner & Theobald, is disappointed at the lack of dialogue with industry in arriving at these decisions. He said: "It is a pity that this announcement comes without meaningful consultation with industry about the proposals This is especially so given the industry’s unanimous support for the continuation of the Chief Construction Adviser’s role and it is a pity that this united voice has been ignored. "The two CCAs in post over the past six years (Paul Morrell and Peter Hansford) have provided a key role both in terms of their advice to government about being a better client and becoming the key interface between government and the industry. CIC has supported the role throughout and we were happy to increase the level of that support since we believe that the role is so vital." | |||
