HC Deb 19 December 1966 vol 738 c209W
102. Sir G. Nabarro

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government, in view of the recently published statistics of the principal fire losses in the United Kingdom in September showing a further increase in such losses, whether he will arrange each month to analyse the cost of the more substantial losses in industrial buildings with a view to ascertaining to what extent these losses could have been reduced or prevented by stricter building regulations in respect of protection of such structures against damage by fire.

Mr. Mellish

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given on 25th July to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Leicester, North-West (Sir B. Janner). My right hon. Friend does not think an analysis on the lines suggested would be practicable.—[Vol. 732, c.193.]
