I would suggest that an up-to-date fire-prevention
pamphlet be prepared after this Bill has been passed explaining in simple language the do's-and-don'ts of fire prevention, and the penalties involved in case offences are committed.
Especially the locking of fire exits and obstructing route of escape from fires within a building are practices which should be strongly discouraged, and I support the proposal that these two practices be made illegal.
Here is a further instance where the support of the many thousands of multi-storey management committees and mutual aid committees can be solicited in the public interest.
Sir, I support the motion.
