HC Deb 25 March 1980 vol 981 c554W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will give an assurance that insulation standards will not be dropped from building regulations.

Mr. Stanley

I cannot anticipate the outcome of my right hon. Friend's major review of the system of building control, but I am at present seeking views about higher insulation standards for new dwellings with a view to incorporating them in the building regulations as soon as possible.
