Angela Smith: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what plans he has to extend part M of the
building regulations to new dwellings; and if he will make a statement. [33901]
Mr. Raynsford: Further to my answer on 11 June 1997, Official Report, column 472 to a similar question from the hon. Member for
Sutton and Cheam (Mr. Burstow), I am pleased to announce that Part M of the Building Regulations, covering access and facilities for
disabled people, is to be extended to include new dwellings. This decision has been taken following a thorough consideration of the
responses to the consultation on the subject issued by the previous administration in January 1995 and discussion with the Joseph
Rowntree Foundation and the House Builders Federation. The purpose of these proposed measures is to allow people to be able to
invite disabled people to visit them in their own homes, and for home owners to be able to remain in their own homes longer as they
become less mobile as they get older.
The benefits of these changes will be very considerable--more than 10 million people will benefit. In particular there will be
direct benefits of increased convenience, accessibility and sociability for disabled people. The measures will also help
significantly those people who are temporarily disabled through accident or injury, the elderly and those with young children in
prams and pushchairs.
The extension of Part M is an important measure that complements this Government's commitment to implement the remaining duties as
Part III of the Disability Discrimination Act. Part III will improve disabled people's access to goods and services and Part M will
ensure better access to new domestic dwellings. This is, therefore, a key obligation for this Government, which is committed to
social inclusion. It is better and more cost effective for new homes to be designed and built with proper facilities--as already
happens with new public and commercial buildings--than to rely on later piecemeal adjustments.
The measures to be included in the approved document will cover:
level entry to the principal, or a suitable alternative, entrance
an entrance door wide enough to allow wheelchair access
WC provision on the entrance or first habitable storey
adequate circulation and wider doors within the entrance storey
switches and socket outlets at appropriate heights from floor level
level or gently sloping approach from the car parking space to the dwelling, or where this is not possible, easy-going steps, but
not a stepped ramp
where a lift is to be provided in flats, minimum lift capacity and dimensions will be recommended
where a lift is not provided the common stairs to be designed to suit the needs of the ambulant disabled.
These measures reflect those set out in the original consultation paper, although it is not proposed to make provision for a 300 mm
offset inside, and next to the entrance door.
Amendment Regulations will be laid later this year which will extend Part M of the Building Regulations to cover new dwellings. A
new Approved Document will be prepared in readiness for publication at the same time which will set out ways in which the
requirements of the Regulations can be met, and will suggest circumstances where certain of the measures may not be appropriate.
To allow adequate time for guidance to be developed in support of the proposals, and in particular that for level thresholds, and
also to allow time for building workers to become trained in the new techniques that will be necessary, it is proposed the Amendment
Regulations will come into force one year after they are laid.
If, however, those building new dwellings in the intervening period were to incorporate the proposed measures voluntarily it would
greatly benefit the stock of accessible housing.

Mr. Nicholas Winterton: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if his letter of 3 April 1996 to the director general of the House:
Builders Federation constitutes Government policy on exemptions to the landfill tax; to what extent the policies in that statement
were implemented in the Landfill Tax (Contaminated Land) Order 1996; and if he will make a statement. [13595]
Mr. Oppenheim: [holding answer 30 January 1997]: I assume that the letter to which my hon. Friend refers is the one written by my
right hon. Friend the Member for Wells (Mr. Heathcoat-Amory) when he was Paymaster General. In paragraph 3 of the letter, my right
hon. Friend said
"We now intend to provide the exemption for waste from the clearance of historically contaminated land where clearance of all or
part of the contamination is necessary to allow the land to be used for the intended purpose when the development or work on the
land is complete. The exemption will apply to waste arising from the reclamation of the land, but current polluters will not be able
to benefit from it."
He went on to say in parapragh 5
"You suggest that the exemption should be widened to cover clay and other material that has to be removed from high density urban
infill sites. I should first of all say that if a site is historically contaminated it is intended that all of the waste removed and
disposed of to landfill will be exempt under our proposed exemption, not just that which is contaminated."
This letter sets our Government policy that, to qualify for the exemption, such wastes would need to arise from a reclamation which
facilitates development of the land and removes the potential for the pollutants to cause harm. The removal of the pollutants must
be necessary for the development to proceed and any activity that gave rise to the pollutants must have ceased. Where these criteria
are met, then all wastes, whether polluted or not, arising from the reclamation would qualify for the exemption. This policy is
reflected in the Landfill Tax (Contaminated Land) Order 1996. Copies of the letter have been placed in the Library.

Mr. Jack: I arranged for my officials to meet representatives of the House-Builders Federation on 20 December 1996. I understand
that they had a useful and constructive meeting at which the Inland Revenue was able to offer practical help for the federation's
members with their reviews of the employment status of their workers. The House-Builders Federation will continue to be included in
future consultations with the industry on employment status.
