A technician is a profession, that can lead to I Eng.
IEng is the first run on the ladder of professional engineering, which can either be brodened horizontally, as the IET President is asking, or can be increased academically by further University Master studies or by CPD and a monograph.

Every one has the right to his opinion, but CEng are not going to block IEng without somesort of virulent reaction.
