§ Mr. Mike Thomasasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will consider including insulation in the list of missing standard amenities scheduled in the Housing Act 1974, in order to assist private tenants and householders to carry out insulation work.
§ Mr. ArmstrongNo. Apart from the difficulty of defining a suitable standard, 123W many dwellings are incapable of insulation except at risproportionate cost.
