HC Deb 24 June 1959 vol 607 c142W
Mr. Hannan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will give the most recent number of local authorities which have adopted the model building byelaws to ensure the installation of smokeless fuel appliances in new buildings; and what steps he is taking to encourage the others.

Mr. Maclay

The byelaw has been adopted by 24 local authorities. I have taken the opportunity of bringing its desirability to the attention of local authorities from time to time, and I shall do so again shortly in a general circular which I shall be issuing on the subject of smoke control areas.
