Building Standards (Scotland) Regulations

HC Deb 27 July 1961 vol 645 c94W

Mr. N. McLean

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will now publish draft regulations under Section 3 of the Building (Scotland) Act, 1959.

Mr. Maclay

Yes. The draft Building Standards (Scotland) Regulations, 1961, are now ready and, together with an explanatory memorandum which incorporates the report of the Building Standards Advisory Committee, will be on sale this afternoon and copies will be placed in the Vote Office. The period for lodging representations on the draft regulations will end on 1st December, 1961, and I hope all concerned will carefully study the draft Regulations before that date. I should like to pay tribute to the Advisory Committee for the valuable part they have played in the preparation of the draft regulations.
