HC Deb 09 December 1968 vol 775 cc41-2W
Mr. Hannan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether, in advance of the Holroyd Committee Report on Fire Prevention, he will introduce legislation requiring adequate precautions in resi- dential establishments or public places such as clubs, hotels and hospitals, etc.

Mr. Ross

Legislation of this kind covering England and Wales as well as Scotland is already at an advanced stage of preparation. Subject to any conclusions reached meanwhile by the Holroyd Committee it will be introduced as soon as the Parliamentary programme permits.
