HC Deb 27 June 1960 vol 625 c88W
Mr. Russell

asked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that considerable uneasiness has been caused in Wembley as a result of fires which have occurred in factory premises in recent months; and if he will give urgent consideration to information passed to him by the Working Party on Inflammable Substances, with a view to introducing further precautions if found necessary.

Mr. P. Thomas

Yes.

My Department has already issued advisory leaflets on fire prevention and flammable substances to all factory occupiers. My right hon. Friend intends to make fire prevention regulations and preparatory work is already in hand. Any information received from the Working Party on Inflammable Substances will be carefully considered by my Department.
