Parker Morris Standards

HC Deb 08 December 1967 vol 755 cc417-8W

Mr. Rossi

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government when he estimates that houses for owner-occupation will be built universally to Parker Morris standards

Mr. MacColl

The level of standards of houses built for owner-occupation has been raised by the National House Builders Registration Council in their new specification which became generally operative on 1st August, 1967. It is the Council's intention to continue to raise standards gradually, but some of the Parker Morris recommendations, in particular the space standards, are related to the number of people who will occupy a house, and these cannot be applied if the number of people is not known when the house is being built.
