HC Deb 17 December 1984 vol 70 c14W
Mr. Rost

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make it his policy not to alter the building regulations so as to permit an increase in the heat loss from buildings.

Mr. Gow

My policy is to recast the building regulations so as to simplify them and the procedures involved, while maintaining substantially the standards required, including those for the conservation of fuel and power.
