HC Deb 16 November 1972 vol 846 c205W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many hospitals or hospital management committees have advertised recently in the Fire magazine for fire safety officers at a wage rate of £22.84 for a 40-hour week; how many applications were received in each case; what were the qualifications sought by the employing body; and if he will make a statement on the responsibilities which these officers will carry in post.

Mr. Alison

Details of advertisements for appointments made by individual hospital authorities are not kept centrally. Fire safety officers are responsible for the practical application of fire precautions
