HC Deb 20 October 1971 vol 823 cc121-2W
50. Mrs. Doris Fisher

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will introduce legislation to make Her Majesty's Government responsible for compensating house-owners for losses arising from faulty building work and for failure to remedy defects in a reasonable time by firms expelled from the National Housebuilders' Registration Council.

Mr. Channon

The guarantee of the N.H.B.R.C. already covers losses in those circumstances and legislation is therefore not necessary.
