HC Deb 03 March 1971 vol 812 cc450-1W
51. Mr. O'Halloran

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will strengthen the building regulations so as to avoid such rapid deterioration as has occurred at Six Acres Estate, Lennox Road, N.4, which were completed less than two years ago.

Mr. Amery

I understand that these flats suffer from condensation. Technical advice on this subject was published last year and further study is in hand: we shall consider in the light of results whether we need to amend the building regulations. Buildings in Inner London are subject to the G.L.C.'s byelaws and it is for the G.L.C. to consider whether they need amendment.
