HC Deb 10 March 1970 vol 797 c1096
7. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works if he will make a further statement on his work to combat the effects of condensation in new houses, in the light of new evidence sent to him by the hon. Member for West Lothian.

Mr. Loughlin

I have written to my hon. Friend about this.

Mr. Dalyell

Is my hon. Friend aware that many hon. Members are very grateful to him and his Ministry for laying on an excellent presentation in Westminster Hall, and that I am grateful for what they are doing in West Lothian with their film on condensation? Would he assure us that he is concentrating on the work of the Building Research Station at Watford and making sure that it does its bit in facing this terrible problem?

Mr. Loughlin

The Building Research Station has made a great contribution to trying to solve some of the problems of local authorities. We shall have the design guide "Condensation in Dwellings" issued shortly. This will also make a great contribution.
