HC Deb 12 December 1968 vol 775 cc191-2W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of the growing number of fire disasters causing loss of life and damage to property, he will arrange for regular periodical Ministerial broadcasts on fire prevention to be televised so that the general public may be instructed and advised on all matters pertaining to fire prevention, control and drill, etc.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

I am grateful for the suggestion but doubt whether this would be the most effective way of giving detailed advice. However, when considering what further publicity should be undertaken by the Home Office in the coming year, I will bear in mind the desirability of Ministerial support on appropriate occasions.
