HC Deb 01 December 1969 vol 792 c220W
Mr. Boyden

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what progress has been made in revising the Building Regulations to take account of the lessons of the Ronan Point flats disaster; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Greenwood

Proposals for amending of the Building Regulations were circulated for comment last May. During the last three months the comments, and possible variations of the original proposals, have been under consideration by the Ministry and the Building Regulations Advisory Committee. I have now received the Committee's advice, and I intend to make amending regulations early in the New Year.
