§ Mr. Richard Wainwrightasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations he has received to the effect that faults in local authority dwellings built within the last 10 years are attributable to advice given by the National Building Agency; and what action he proposes to take.
§ Mr. FreesonThere is no readily available record of any such representations. It would, however, be wrong to assume that faults in such cases are attributable to any advice which may have been given by the National Building Agency.
