§ Mr. Alex CarlileTo ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will list the grades and qualifications of each member of each committee which contributed to the review of the fire safety legislation and its enforcement; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Neil HamiltonThe team undertaking the review of fire safety legislation and enforcement consisted of a grade 5 from the Department of the Environment, an area director from the Health and Safety Executive and a grade 7 from the Home Office.
They were assisted by a steering group, chaired by a grade 3 from my Department, and made up of a number of civil servants of various grades from the Home Office, the Department of the Environment, the Health and Safety Executive, the Scottish Office, my Department and the No. 10 policy unit.
The review team was also able to draw upon expert advice from an advisory group made up of the president of the Institute of Building Control, a serving chief fire officer, a partner in a firm of building designers and planners, the director of the Fire Protection Association and two fire safety managers from manufacturing and service sector companies.
I have nothing further to add on the review to the answer given to the hon. Member for Wentworth (Mr. Hardy) on 14 June, Official Report, columns 427–28.
