§ 22. Mr. Dumpletonasked the Minister of Health what response he has received from local housing authorities to Circular 170/46 regarding new methods of construction to achieve improved thermal insulation.
§ Mr. BevanOnly 55 local authorities have so far sent in replies to Circular 170/46. It is too early, therefore, to make any general statement.
§ Mr. DumpletonIn view of the importance of the matter, will the Minister undertake every activity possible to impress this on local authorities?
§ Mr. BevanThe application of this system varies with different schemes. Many local authorities are showing an extremely active interest, and we hope that very many more will.
