§ Mr. Charles WardleThe record of visits to monitor progress on the programme of works leading to fire certification is not kept in the form of a report. The other visits have been numerous, usually to provide advice on a variety of fire safety matters such as the enclosure of stairways, fire doors, signs, and the appointment of in-house fire safety specialists. In both cases the information requested could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
