Provision Of Smoke Alarms In Rented Properties
EDM number 454 in 2005-06, proposed by Paul Rowen on 29/06/2005.
That this House notes with regret the recent tragic death of three young children in a house fire in Rochdale, Greater Manchester and is saddened that although a smoke alarm was fitted, fire officers could find no battery; therefore calls on the Government to make it compulsory for all landlords to fit and regularly check smoke alarms in all their properties; and congratulates the Manchester Evening News in conjunction with the Greater Manchester Fire Service for launching a campaign to ensure that the 200,000 properties in Greater Manchester which currently do not have smoke alarms have one fitted.
This motion has been signed by a total of 53 MPs.
