HC Deb 19 April 1983 vol 41 c58W
Mr. McCrindle

asked the Minister for Trade if he has received representations about the potential dangers of some types of double glazing; and if he will introduce legislation to control the types available.

Mr. Sproat

The Department has been asked to consider making legislation to cover the safely of replacement glazing sold to consumers based on the British Standard code of practice which came out last year (BS 6262). Before deciding whether legislation is necessary or would be practicable my hon. Friend intends to consult widely on the likely degree of voluntary compliance with and adequancy of the replacement glazing parts of the code.
