§ Mr. Cartwrightasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science when he intends to bring schools, colleges and other educational establishments within the provisions of the Fire Precautions Act 1971.
§ Mr. Giles ShawI have been asked to reply.
We have no plans to designate educational establishments as requiring a fire certificate under the Fire Precautions Act 1971. My right hon. Friend and I are at present satisfied that existing legislative provisions, including the parts of the 1971 Act which already apply, are adequate.
