34A CHRONICLE OF THE ENGINEERING COUNCILPublic Relations front several notable successes had been scored putting the EngC firmly onthe map. In short the engineering profession owes Sir Kenneth a huge debt of gratitude foreffectively continuing the work where the enterprise begun by Sir Monty Finniston had leftoff.Fig.4 shows many of the original Council members and senior staff at a dinner held on 1 May1985 to mark Sir Kenneth’s retirement from the Chairmanship.The Statutory vs Chartered Debate - continuedThe question of whether the EngC could have had a better start and done a better jobcontinued to rumble on, even after the granting of the Charter and approval of the Bye-Laws.Kenneth Corfield wrote later:“… I regret that Government has failed to give the EngC the “teeth” it needed, in whichrespect it failed the Finniston Report as Monty Finniston expressed to me personally in nouncertain terms.”Council Member Les Mercer later remarked:“Come back Finniston - we need one qualifying body with real powers and Institutions tooperate as learned societies.”Council Member Sir Gordon Higginson recollected:“The biggest problem facing the formation and development of the Engineering Council wascreated by the attitude adopted by the Finniston Committee to the Engineering Institutions:the Report sidelined the Institutions, treating them almost with contempt. What followed wasthat Finniston took on the Institutions but lost. With that confrontation was also lost theopportunity that everyone wanted: the formation of a national body with authority and thesupport, indeed the sponsorship, of at least the major professional Institutions.“It later took the tremendous effort of John Fairclough (see Chapter 5) and others to bringabout a change to the structure, which was an improvement, but still fell short of what wewanted at the time of the Finniston Enquiry.”Council Member James Stephenson recalled:“The Engineering Council was hindered, from its inception, by the refusal to accept therecommendation from the Finniston Committee that it should be a statutory body. For a longtime, I felt the Institutions ignored it in the hope that it would go away, which gave the world,including potential registrants, the impression of a divided profession. Since the Council ofEngineering Institutions, which preceded it as the registration body, was essentially confinedto Chartered Engineering Institutions, a success of the Engineering Council was to promotethe view of the engineering profession as an integrated body, including all registeredEngineers. Another success was to provide a framework for qualification [SARTOR] whichgave a comparable standard of competence across all the branches of the profession,something which was far from the case in 1981.”© Engineering Council UK 2004
