HC Deb 25 April 1967 vol 745 cc237-8W
Mr. Urwin

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many industrialised building systems are currently in use in the United Kingdom; how many of these are approved by the National Building Agency; and what action is being taken to compile a small register of such systems for the guidance of local authorities.

Mr. Mellish

Some 130 systems are in use in England, most of them for low rise building. These include 52 low rise systems for which appraisal certificates have been issued by the National Building Agency. The Agency have not appraised any high rise systems. The Agency maintains a list of appraised systems which is available to local authorities on request.
