§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether, in view of the potential safety hazard caused by the installation of double glazing with interior unbreakable glass and no means of window opening he will consider introducing regulations concerning the nature of the glass which may be used for double glazing.
§ Sir George YoungNo. There are many factors which building owners need to consider in choosing the types of windows they install. As well as cost, these factors can include fire safety, energy conservation, sound insulation, security, hazards from accidental breakage, and the risks of falling from them. There is no universally correct answer, and building owners or occupiers must make their own judgments of the best balance for their own particular needs and circumstances.
