HC Deb 04 November 1970 vol 805 c367W
83. Mr. Gray

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will consider, in cases of application for relaxation of Building Standards (Scotland) Regulations 1963, taking steps to give the local authority greater powers to grant such relaxation.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

Yes. I propose to delegate to buildings authorities powers to grant relaxations in respect of applications for the conversion, alteration or improvement of dwellinghouses. The necessary order and regulations will be laid in due course.
