HC Deb 05 March 1957 vol 566 cc28-9W
74. Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will make it obligatory in future building regulations that dwelling-houses be insulated.

Mr. H. Brooke

My Department's model building byelaws include a byelaw requiring dwelling-houses to be adequately insulated against loss of heat. Out of a total of 1,438 local authorities entitled to make byelaws, 1,413 have adopted it.
