§ Mr. David Stoddartasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on Her Majesty's Government's policy towards the continuation of Parker Morris standards for local housing authorities.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerI intend to maintain the minimum mandatory standards for local authority housing based on the report of the Parker Morris Committee. It would be a false economy to build houses to lower standards since this could render them obsolete well before the end of their useful life.
