HC Deb 06 February 1962 vol 653 c39W
71. Mr. Milne

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if he will introduce in housing standards some measure designed to eliminate the frozen pipes prevalent in cold spells in this country.

Dr. Hill

Very full advice was given to local authorities about their own houses, both new and existing, by circular 57/56, and water undertakers were asked in the same circular to strengthen the provisions of their bye-laws against frost damage to water pipes. There is nothing more I can usefully do.
