§ Mr. Skinnerasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will take steps to introduce adequate fire regulations regarding the safety hazards of double glazing; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. MellorWe are not persuaded that legislation to control the installation of double glazing in private houses is necessary. Nevertheless, we accept that there may be a potential safety hazard arising from certain types of fixed glazing, and we are considering how it might be drawn to the attention of the public, both through the trade and by television publicity.
