HC Deb 17 March 1975 vol 888 c299W
Mr. Michael Latham

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment why he has issued no formal guidance to local authorities regarding buildings containing high alumina cement since July 1974: and when he next intends to do so.

Mr. Freeson:

I have, in fact, done so in a circular letter sent to local authorities on 2nd January 1975. I hope to issue further advice before the end of April, following the results of the survey being carried out by the Building Research Establishment.

Mr. Michael Latham

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment on what date he received the report from the Building Research Establishment on high alumina cement ; and when he proposes to publish it.

Mr. Freeson:

This report has not yet been received. It will be published as soon as possible after receipt.
