HC Deb 17 May 1978 vol 950 c185W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what new proposals he has for assisting local housing authorities in solving problems of condensation.

Mr. Hugh D. Brown

A great deal of Government research into condensation has been carried out and the results have been made available to local authorities. It is a problem of great concern to me, and the Scottish Development Department will gladly advise authorities facing special difficulties. My right hon. Friend is also prepared to accept the capital cost of approved remedial works as eligible for housing subsidy.
