HC Deb 20 January 1994 vol 235 cc837-8W
Mr. Bowden

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment when he will announce a decision with regard to the extension of part M of the building regulations to new and existing residential property.

Mr. Baldry

At my request, the Building Regulations Advisory Committee is at present examining the desirability and practicability of extending the provisions in part M of the building regulations to new dwellings. I hope to be in a position to make a statement on this before Easter. There are no proposals to extend part M to existing dwellings.
