HC Deb 29 January 1987 vol 109 cc319-20W
Mr. Fatchett

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) whether he has yet received a report from the Building Research Establishment on Reema Conclad houses; and if he will make a statement.

(2) whether he will establish an inquiry into the structural safety of Reema high-rise blocks of flats: and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Tracey

The building research establishment is undertaking a major study of large panel system flats and houses, including Reema flats and houses. A number of papers have already been published and BRE's major report, on the structural integrity and durability of large panel buildings, should be available later this year.
