HC Deb 08 November 1974 vol 880 cc247-8W
Mr. Grist

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment in view of the concern about the standard of heat insulation in new buildings, particularly houses, if he will take steps to improve the situation; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Michael Latham

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what progress he is making with his revision of the building regulations so as to reduce the thermal transmittance coeffi- cient for external walls; and what action he is taking to meet the concern recently expressed to him by the Committee of Aggregate Block Producers.

Mr. Freeson

I am considering a revised regulation and expect to come to a conclusion shortly.
