§ Mr. Anthony Grantasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many hotels known to his Department have failed to comply with the requirements of the Fire Precautions Act 1971; and if he will make a statement.
§ Dr. SummerskillFire authorities estimated that, at 31st December last, applications had not been made by some 8,000 hotels and boarding-houses for which fire certificates were required under the Fire Precautions Act 1971. This is no more than an estimate; fire authorities have no precise information. Within the limits of their resources, they are doing their best to trace cases of this kind.
