plans and applied to Government in the normal way, and eventually approval was given for certain amounts of money which are quoted in the Director's Report based on 1982 figures. The Council had then set up an Estates Committee amongst other committees, to monitor and in fact implement these particular projects. They then met together and next decided to run the competition which is referred to as a 'Design Competition'; the Director of Architectural Services (although he was called something else then) was in fact a member, and still is a member of this Estates Committee so that at all times he is fully consulted as a member of the Committee.
They then had a competition with names supplied by the Director of Architectural Services and I think five in each case submitted plans, design plans, and these were reviewed. Then a selection was made and this was confirmed by the Estates Committee, and then eventually by the whole Council. At that stage, the project was put to Government and formally passed to the Director of Architectural
Services.

Director of Architectural Services' office was advised that given the short time available, it should not be an architectural competition, a limited competition, and it ought not to go ahead?
DTEIT:
The sentence you are referring to Sir, is at the start of Paragraph 127, I think. That is correct as far as it goes, although the Director did in fact add - "Except for major projects". The VTC clearly thought and the Estates Committee thought that these were major projects and indeed, somewhat later in the year another Director of Architectural Services in fact confirmed that he
regarded them as large projects, although whether a 'large' project is a 'major' project, I don't wish to go into semantics this afternoon, but clearly the VTC thought these projects of approaching $100 million in one case and over $100 million in the other case, were major projects.
