§ 44. Sir John Biggs-Davisonasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement about progress made in the restoration and replacement of PRC houses.
§ Mr. TraceyThe National House Building Council's subsidiary company, PRC Homes Ltd., has now approved 21 repair systems for seven PRC house types (Airey, Cornish Unit, Orlit, Parkinson, Unity, Wates, Woolaway) covering over two thirds of all designated houses. Over 30 more proposed systems are currently in the pipeline. As a result, reinstatement work under the housing defects legislation is now getting under way in many areas. It is for local authorities to decide what renovation work may be needed to PRC houses in their own stock.
