HC Deb 02 May 1980 vol 983 c701W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for Energy whether he will issue instructions that all furniture in floating hotels should be bolted down.

Mr. Gray

A great deal of the heavier furniture is already fixed in position. It may not be practical to secure all furniture. For instance, chairs in mess rooms may have to be moved for cleaning. However, the whole question of flotels is at present under close review and consideration will be given to hazards presented by unsecured articles.
