HC Deb 14 July 1970 vol 803 cc163-4W
63. Mr. Golding

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what steps he proposes to take to improve the standard of housebuilding by private builders.

Mr. Channon

About 95 per cent. of all houses built privately for sale are covered by the scheme run by the National Housebuilders Registration Council. The scheme includes a specification of constructional and design standards to which registered builders must conform, and I am watching closely the operation of the scheme.
