LETTER : Engineers' voice

From Mr Michael Heath

Sir: Comments by Rowland Morgan about the accountability of the new Engineering Council (letter, 9 February) are hardly justified by the facts of the democratic election arrangements. The council's ruling senate has the major proportion of its members elected directly by registered engineers and by the engineering institutions' councils, which are themselves elected by engineers and technicians among their membership.

The Engineering Council creates a powerful single voice for the engineering profession.

Yours sincerely,

Mike Heath

Director General

Engineering Council
