HC Deb 17 April 1986 vol 95 cc477-8W
Mr. Madden

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when officials of his Department and the building Reasearch Station visited the Lower Grange estate, Bradford, to inspect Denis-Wild type houses; when he expects to receive reports from those officials; when he expects to designate such properties under the Housing Defects Act; and if he will make a statement.

Sir George Young

Officials from my Department, including the Building Research Establishment, inspected Denis-Wild houses on the Lower Grange Estate, Bradford, on 7 February this year. I have received the BRE's note of that inspection. On this evidence my right hon. Friend is not minded to designate Denis-Wild houses under part XVI of the Housing Act 1985 (formerly the Housing Defects Act 1984)
