HC Deb 05 July 1972 vol 840 cc132-3W
71. Mrs. Fenner

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if the review of standards of thermal insulation being carried out by his Department is yet complete.

Mr. Amery

Work is continuing on this review, and is well advanced. It is not yet complete.

Mr. Redmond

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether, in considering the extent to which building regulations should be modified and improved in the field of thermal insulation, he will give consideration to the forecast made by scientists of the Orsted Institute of Copenhagen and the Engineering Laboratory of the United States Army, details of which have been supplied to him, that Great Britain's climate is likely to become colder in a trend that will continue until about 1985.

Mr. Eyre

Yes, together with any other evidence having a bearing on health and safety.
