§ 31. Mr. Brookeasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that a special fire risk arises where business premises that have been damaged are completely boarded up, if no fire guard is in the premises and where it is impossible to see from the street a fire which takes hold inside; and whether he will provide that the boarding up must be so done that if such a fire occurs it can be detected from the outside?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonI recognise the special nature of the fire hazards presented by unoccupied business premises, and I propose 2054 shortly to introduce measures to deal with this subject.
