Proceeding contribution from Andy Slaughter (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 29 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Water Industry (Financial Assistance) Bill.


Water Industry (Financial Assistance) Bill

My hon. Friend is making a good point about a matter that was brought home to me recently. Hon. Members will remember the serious fire that closed Wood lane, opposite the BBC in Shepherd's Bush—perhaps that is why it got so much publicity. The consequence of such events in major buildings with no sprinkler systems is not just the risk of loss of life, but often the permanent loss of jobs where buildings cannot reopen and the huge damage to industrial and public buildings.
