British Standards appointments
17/01/2002
The appointment of three new members to the Building
Standards Advisory Committee was announced today.
The new members are: Ms Heather Chapple, an Architect
with Smith Scott Mullan Associates and the DPHS; Mr Robert
Coke, Assistant Firemaster at Strathclyde Fire Brigade and
Mr Gary Mees, Architectural Technologist and Member of the
British Institute of Architectural Technologists.
The Deputy Minister for Social Justice, Margaret Curran,
has also re-appointed the following members: Mr Richard
Amos, Chartered Building Surveyor in private practice and
Mr Sandy Anderson, Managing Director of Bett Homes.
All the appointments will serve for a three-year period
which started on 1 January 2002 and ends on 31 December

The remit of the Building Standards Advisory Committee
is to advise Scottish Ministers on the continuing
development of the Building Standards (Scotland)
Regulations and the operation of the Scottish building
control system. The Committee is intended to provide a
technical input to proposals for regulations, but with a
strong remit to consider both the potential effects of the
legislation and its interaction with related
legislation.
