HC Deb 09 December 1970 vol 808 c120W
64 and 65. Mr. Crouch

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) if he is aware, that under regulations issued by the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, pig housing must have at least two inches of thermal insulation in the roof; and what action he is taking to raise the level of thermal insulation in the roofs of housing for human occupation to the same level;

(2) what steps are being taken to raise the level of thermal insulation in housing which at present is based on recommendations made 10 years ago and now out of date.

Mr. Channon

A comprehensive review on the whole question of thermal insulations is taking place at the present time and my right hon. Friend will decide whether any change in the levels of thermal insulation in housing is desirable in the light of the Report.
