§ Mr. HinchliffeTo ask the President of the Board of Trade, pursuant to his answer of 1 July,Official Report, column 748, what aspects of the Children Act 1989 and the Registered Homes Act 1984 the inter-departmental scrutiny team is looking at other than fire safety; and what recommendations the team has made.
§ Mr. Neil HamiltonAs I made clear in my earlier response on 1 July 1994,Official Report, column 748, the report of the inter-departmental review makes a number of recommendations regarding fire safety legislation and enforcement which may affect the operation of the legislation mentioned or premises covered by them. The report, copies of which are in the Library of the House, does not deal with any issues other than fire safety and is now the subject of consultation.
Questions about other aspects of the legislation and its enforcement should therefore be addressed to my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Health.
