§ Mr. Dalyellasked the Minister of Public Building and Works what study he is making of condensation in factory-built houses.
§ Mr. PrenticeAn interdepartmental working party, with membership from my Ministry, the Ministry of Housing and Local Government, the Scottish Development Department and the Building Research Station was set up in May 1966 to study condensation problems in both traditionally-built and industrialised housing.
Already the working party has produced and distributed a leaflet to householders, organised a conference, and made contributions to lectures and exhibitions. It has assembled data for the publication of case studies of buildings with serious condensation problems, and is preparing a film which will deal with the causes of condensation and remedial measures.
Future activity is directed towards three main groups: householders; building owners and clients; and designers, builders and surveyors.
A campaign using publications, films and conferences is being planned.
