HC Deb 16 October 1975 vol 897 cc781-2W
Mrs. Winifred Ewing

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment, in connection with the Department's recent investigations into the safety of building in which high alumina cement has been used, how many buildings the findings disclosed to have been more than four storeys using this cement; and how many of these are in Scotland and Wales.

Mr. Freeson

Detailed figures are not available, but a sample survey of buildings in England and Wales containing high alumina cement concrete suggests that the number with more than four storeys is small. The position in Scotland is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland.
