§ 46. Mr. Penhaligonasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he remains satisfied with the regulations involving insulation and the resultant rate assessment increases.
§ Mr. Guy BarnettThe thermal insulation requirements for dwellings were roughly doubled in 1975. We are now considering extending them to most other types of buildings. Any improvement to the insulation of dwellings would not by itself be assessed for rating purposes until the next general revaluation. I am not aware of any rate assessment problems arising from the insulation of other buildings.
