HC Deb 12 March 1970 vol 797 c360W
50. Dame Irene Ward

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will now introduce legislation to lay down standards and to ensure that adequate fire precautions operate in hotels, hospitals, mental hospitals, old people's homes, and similar buildings.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

The legislation to strengthen and rationalise the law relating to fire precautions, which my right hon. Friend proposes to introduce when Parliamentary time permits, will cover these establishments.
