§ Mr. Ashtonasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how often inspections are made of the structural safety of public buildings.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonThis information is not available. It is for the local authority to decide if and when inspection is needed either in relation to their own buildings or for the purpose of exercising their functions under the Public Health Acts.
§ Mr. Ashtonasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what inspections of buildings for structural safety are carried out on behalf of his department before planning permission is given for use as restaurants or clubs.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonWhere planning permission is required for the use of premises as restaurants or clubs, local planning authorities are concerned only with planning considerations and not with structural safety.
