HC Deb 01 December 1981 vol 14 cc97-8W
Mr. Freeson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will seek to amend building regulations for new domestic dwellings to require mandatory double glazing for the whole or, at the least, part of the building.

Sir George Young

No.

Mr. Freeson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will seek to include cost-effective double glazing among the types of insulation which qualify for grant under the Homes Insulation Act.

Sir George Young

No. We are concentrating resources on the more cost effective measures currently assisted; loft insulation and the associated lagging of pipes and tanks in the still large number of dwellings without any loft insulation.
