The Structural Engineer, Volume 53, Issue 2, 1975
A recent comment on 'Guidelines for the appraisal of structural components in HAC' issued by the Institution last October, suggests that this useful paper was unlikely to be acceptable by local authorities and others as a yardstick of adequacy. It was, of course, never intended to be and is no more than the title says; these are guidelines from the Institution to its members alone to assist them in reaching a well founded professional judgement for which they will be responsible.

In December 1972 the Secretary of State for the Environment asked Sir Robert Matthew, Past-President of the RIBA and Mr. Patrick Skillington of DOE to study and report upon a possible means of promoting high standards of design in government building. Their far-reaching two-part report was completed in July 1974 and the Institution, together with other professional societies in the construction industry, was invited to comment.
This paper touches on the history of the Channel Tunnel from the re-awakening of interest in the project, in 1957, to the present day. H.B. Gould, G.O. Jackson and S.G. Tough
