HC Deb 27 October 1992 vol 212 cc541-2W
Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he plans to bring forward proposals to change building regulations in light of the construction products and workplace directives; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Baldry

The Building Regulations 1991. which came into force on 1 June 1992, contain appropriate references to the construction products directive, which was implemented in the United Kingdom through the Construction Products Regulations 1991. We are currently considering what further changes may be needed in the Building Regulations to make them consistent with regulations made to implement the workplace directive.
