HON. MR. R. H. KOTEWALL asked:-
LO

1. With reference to the disastrous explosion at West Point in May, 1934, will the Government state:-
(a) Whether the gasometers
are considered to be
suitably placed in their present locations, in view of their proximity to tenement houses;
(b) What steps have been, or will be, taken to ensure the proper maintenance and the regular examination of the gasometers; and
(c) What other steps has the Government decided to take with a view to preventing similar disasters in the future.
THE COLONIAL SECRETARY replied:-
1-(a) Terms have been satisfactorily settled between the Government and the Gas Company for the purchase by the Company of another and more suitable site for the gasometers.
(b) It is understood that no special legislation for the compulsory inspection of gasometers is in force in the United Kingdom; but the advice of the Home Authorities is being sought as to whether, in view of local conditions, such legislation is desirable here.
(c) No further action has been taken in the mean- time pending the receipt of a reply to this enquiry.
