Safe As Houses Campaign

EDM number 2262 in 2008-09, proposed by Karen Buck on 10/11/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Housing standards.

That this House congratulates Inside Housing on the Safe as Houses campaign to raise awareness about housing safety standards, following the Lakanal House fire, which tragically claimed six lives earlier this year; recognises the importance of taking steps such as those proposed by the campaign to improve carbon monoxide detection in new homes with gas appliances, to provide emergency procedure notices in all corridors in high-rise blocks of flats and to develop a national database of tower blocks; and calls on the Government to work with local authorities, housing providers and builders to this end.

This motion has been signed by a total of 18 MPs.
