HC Deb 22 July 1954 vol 530 c153W
108. Mr. Mikardo

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the reason for the delay in presenting to the Reading Hospital Management Committee the report of the Chief Fire Officer of the Reading and Berkshire Fire Brigade on his inspection of the hospitals in the borough.

Sir D. Maxwell Fyfe

I have no responsibility in this matter, but inquiries have been made and I understand that the delay in presenting this report is due to the extent of the premises which had to be inspected, and to pressure of work in the Fire Prevention Branch of the fire brigade.
