HC Deb 20 February 1968 vol 759 c53W
73. Sir G. Nabarro

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he is aware of the difficulties arising because of the building regulations based on Section 53 of the Public Health Act, 1936, which allow insufficient adaptability in application; and whether he will seek to make arrangements whereby regulations relating to such items as external cladding materials could be handled on the lines of the Scottish building regulations.

Mr. MacColl

This would require legislation, but my right hon. Friend is always prepared to consider specific suggestions within the ambit of the present law.
