HC Deb 17 March 1970 vol 798 c119W
Mr. Simon Mahon

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works when he will give local authorities the latest results of his experts' examination of the problem of condensation and damp in houses and flats; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John Silkin

The latest results of the work on problems of condensation have been incorporated in a publication "Condensation in Dwellings". Part 1—A Design Guide—will be available from H.M.S.O. at the end of this month.

The Ministry of Housing and Local Government, the Scottish Office and the Welsh Office will be advising local authorities about this publication.

Part 2, which will deal with remedial measures in existing dwellings, is in course of preparation.
