HC Deb 14 October 1969 vol 788 c57W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will cause an investigation to be made as to why on several occasions the hon. Member for West Ham, North was given false information by his Department concerning the invention of Mr. V. G. White to prevent explosions in tower blocks, and why many weeks elapsed before action was taken in connection with this matter.

Mr. Freeson

My hon. Friend has not been misinformed. He was told that the Fire Research Station would be asked to advise on this device and this was done.
