HC Deb 20 March 1986 vol 94 c278W
Mr. Burt

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will give figures for fatal and non-fatal casualties from accidental fires in dwellings, by source of ignition, in 1984 and 1985.

Mr. Giles Shaw

Provisional figures of casualties from accidental fires in dwellings in the United Kingdom in 1984 analysed by source of ignition, are published in table 11 of Home Office Statistical Bulletin, issue No. 3/86, "Summary Fire Statistics United Kingdom 1984". A more detailed analysis, of final figures, by source of ignition will be given in "Fire Statistics United Kingdom 1984" which it is planned to publish in May. Information for 1985 is not yet available.
