§ Mr. StokesA survey was made by my Ministry in May, 1948, when No. 2, Park Street was first used for its present purposes, to ensure that fire prevention and escape measures were satisfactory and that adequate fire fighting appliances180W were provided. The fire risk in this building is not regarded as above normal. My Ministry's Fire Inspectorate is responsible for periodic inspection of the arrangements; this is done at six monthly intervals.
