HC Deb 03 November 1969 vol 790 c56W
Mr. Dodds-Parker

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what are the reasons for the delay in introducing legislation to strengthen and rationalise the existing law relating to fire precautions both in premises in which people resort for amusement and in certain kinds of residential establishments.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

I regret that pressure on Parliamentary time has delayed the introduction of this legislation.
