§ 86. Mr. Peter Millsasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will introduce legislation to make it compulsory that all accidents or incidents endangering the public arising from the failure of water, sewage, gas or electricity, or other public works should be reported within 24 hours to his Department, and 241W that an inquiry should be made into the reasons for such accidents or incidents.
§ Mr. Denis HowellThe Ministers with specific responsibilities in connection with electricity, gas, railways and other services make appropriate arrangements for receiving reports and instituting inquiries. I doubt the need for legislation.
