HC Deb 28 January 1985 vol 72 c21W
Mr. Loyden

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will publish the code of practice for fire regulations in multi-occupied residential premises; and if he will place a copy in the Library.

Mr. Knox

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects to issue the code of practice on fire safety in houses in multiple occupation; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Giles Shaw

Preparation of the code has taken much longer than expected, but it is hoped that a draft which will form the basis for consultation with interested organisations will be available in the next few months. When the final version of the code is published a copy will be placed in the Library of the House.
