HC Deb 19 February 1952 vol 496 c2W
41. Mr. Renton

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what steps he is taking to ensure that all dwelling houses, and other buildings in which there has to be space heating, will be fitted with space heating stoves, fire grates, etc., of maximum efficiency in order to save fuel, instead of being fitted with stoves and fire grates which have low efficiency.

Mr. Macmillan

The installation of improved appliances is already required in all local authority housing and is a condition of a licence for private building; legislation is not necessary. The Housing Manual recommends local authorities to use solid fuel appliances for the main space heating in their houses.
