The exact starting date of the Liaison Committee of the Schools of Civil Engineering and Transport and Highways is unknown but it was in place by 11th September 1979, which was the earliest meeting date of the committee the University Archives holds minutes of. The committee was formed to consider the pros and cons of an amalgamation of the School of Transport and Highways into the School of Civil Engineering as an independent department. The committee was to investigate the desirability of the integration, from both a global and local view point; the feasibility of such a move; the mechanics / logistics of the move; and the time scale involved. The committee consisted of the heads of the two schools, heads of departments within the schools, and senior academic staff. Meetings were called on an ad-hoc basis whenever the need arose.
