HC Deb 30 June 1972 vol 839 c432W
Mr. Adley

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps he is taking to ensure that the Commons part of the Palace of Westminster conforms to the Fire Precautions Act.

Mr. Amery

The use of the Commons part of the Palace of Westminster for parliamentary purposes is already covered by a fire certificate issued under the Offices, Shops and Railway Premises Act, 1963. In these circumstances the Fire Precautions Act does not apply.
