REGULATORY REFORM (FIRE SAFETY) ORDER 2004

Motion Text

That this House notes the August 2004 House of Commons Regulatory Reform Committee report on the Proposal for the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2004; welcomes the Committee's view that the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister has not yet made a convincing case for the revocation of the Fire Precautions (Sub-Surface Railway Stations) Regulations 1989, which were introduced following the Fennell report into the November 1987 Kings Cross disaster; supports the opinion expressed in the report that the provisions of the 1989 Regulations should remain in force; and believes that in its response to the report the Department should accept the Committee's position.
