§ Mr. Roy Hughesasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that overcrowding at bingo halls results in fire hazards; and if he will introduce legislation to enable him to prevent such overcrowding.
§ Mr. Roy JenkinsI have very much in mind the need for further measures for the protection of life in the event of fire in various kinds of premises, including bingo halls, and I hope to introduce appropriate legislation when there is opportunity.
