HC Deb 18 January 1977 vol 924 c144W
Mr. Ronald Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services having regard to the high burning rate, intense heat and voluminous superheated smoke at the fire in Wensley Lodge, Hessle, indicative of burning polyurethane foam and other polymeric materials, if he will ensure that an expert in such materials is appointed to advise the inquiry into the cause of the fire.

Mr. Moyle

The form of inquiry has yet to be settled, but it will be within the competence of those conducting it to seek expert advice on this or any other aspect of the fire.
