HC Deb 05 December 1973 vol 865 c384W
41. Mr. Rost

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will review building regulations to improve standards of thermal insulation in the interests of fuel conservation.

Mr. Channon

The purpose for which building regulations can be made are at present restricted to health and safety, but the Health and Safety at Work Bill will provide for building regulations, covering buildings generally, to be made in the interests of fuel conservation.
