HC Deb 29 March 1965 vol 709 c160W
Mr. Homer

asked the Minister of Health, in view of the fact that the Royal Free Hospital, Gray"s Inn Road, is not subject to the fire regulations of the London County Council, and that the lack of proper fire precautions in laboratories using highly inflammable and volatile substances constitutes a fire risk to doctors, technicians, staff and patients, if he will ensure that the Royal Free Group of Hospitals are examined by fire prevention officers and that their recommendations are adopted.

Mr. K. Robinson

The laboratories at the Royal Free Hospital are regularly inspected by an experienced fire officer and in his opinion they do not constitute a fire hazard provided that the safety regulations are strictly adhered to.
