HC Deb 17 March 1981 vol 1 c78W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment, pursuant to the reply given to the hon. Member for Eccles on 1 April 1980, Official Report, c. 200, what progress has been made by the British Standards Institute in revising its code of practice relating to glazing and fixing of glass in buildings; and if he will make a further statement.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

I understand that the British Standards Institution's technical committee has met with some difficulties in revising the British Standard code of practice for glazing (152:1972), but that its work is now nearing completion. A new code is expected shortly.
