The Minister may by order appoint a body which shall be known and is in this Act referred to, as the Building Regulations Advisory Body. The Advisory Body shall advise the Minister on matters relating to building regulations, and may provide such advisory services for or on behalf of the Minister, as the Minister may, from time to time, specify. It shall consist of so many persons appointed by the Minister for such period as he thinks fit, and any person so appointed shall hold office for such period as the Minister may specify.<\/p>\n
The Minister may from time to time nominate one member of the Building Regulations Advisory Body to act as its Chairman. He may at any time remove any member (including the Chairman) of the Building Regulations Advisory Body from office.<\/p>\n\n
