§ 16. Mr. Dalyellasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if, pursuant to his answer, 25 June, Official Report, column 320, he will recommend the wet, dripping water technique rather than dry blasting for cleaning all buildings for which he is responsible.
§ Sir George YoungNo. The most appropriate method will be used in each case.
§ Mr. DalyellIs the Minister aware that this is not a joking question, as the dry blasting technique has been an absolute disaster? Is not the wet healing technique much better?
§ Sir George YoungI am advised by the English Heritage Commission on technical matters of this kind, and I understand that in a few cases the dry method is preferable.
