HC Deb 19 May 1971 vol 817 cc289-90W
61. Miss Lestor

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps he is taking, as a result of his research into high flats, to advise local authorities about the dangers of housing families with small children in high blocks of flats.

Mr. Channon

It is already Departmental policy to encourage local authorities not to house families with young children in high blocks of flats. Advice on the problems of living in multi-storey blocks has been published in Design Bulletins and further bulletins are in preparation.
