§ 18. Mr. MESSERasked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been drawn to an outbreak of fire in a building used as a factory for blind workers; and whether he is satisfied that the ordinary regulations are adequate in the case of blind people?
§ Mr. LLOYDMy right hon. Friend has received a report which shows that adequate means of escape were provided as required by the London County Council, who are the authority responsible in this case, and that special additional precautions were prescribed and taken, including steps to familiarise the blind persons with the means of escape. The arrangements were such that all the employés were quickly outside the building.
