HC Deb 28 February 1963 vol 672 cc192-3W
40. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what evidence he has that passenger-controlled lifts in municipally-owned high domestic blocks of flats have resulted in accidents; and if he will draw the attention of municipalities responsible for erecting multi-storey fiats to the need of providing lifts sufficiently spacious to carry furniture to and from the upper floors.

Mr. Corfield

Accidents do inevitably occur from time to time but my right hon. Friend has no evidence on this subject. If the hon. Member has any particular case in mind, my right hon. Friend will be glad to look into it. As to the second part of the Question, advice has already been given to local authorities in a design bulletin published last October. I am sending the hon. Member a copy.
