HC Deb 17 February 1971 vol 811 c443W
83. Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will take steps to require local authorities to submit plans for all council houses and flats to his Department and to have them approved as likely to avoid serious condensation and damp before loan sanction is given.

Mr. Channon

No. Local authorities are responsible bodies and are very concerned about condensation problems. What has been needed has been investigation and advice rather than new controls. Some technical advice was published last year, and further work is now in hand.
