HC Deb 13 November 1992 vol 213 c994W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make a statement on the grant awarded to the Cardiff institute of higher education housing studies department in relation to the numbers of home fire fatalities.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

A grant of £27,000 has been awarded to the Cardiff institute of higher education under the Welsh Office's housing options Wales small grants scheme which will enable a fire risk and safety assessment project to be undertaken. The project aims to produce a model which can be used by public sector housing managers, in particular, to assist them in assessing the fire risks in dwellings and thus to target resources appropriately.
