HC Deb 03 February 1967 vol 740 c182W
Mr. Winnick

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will receive a deputation, if asked by the local authority, to discuss amending his regulations to ensure the provision of adequate means of escape in case of fire in multi-occupied premises in Croydon.

Mr. Mellish

Croydon Council have asked for a deputation to be received to consider problems relating to dwellings in multiple occupation, including the provision of fire escapes. Officers of the Department will shortly be visiting Croydon to study, in company with officers of the Council, the extent of the problems. A full discussion will be arranged after that.
