asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he expects to be in a position to issue further guidance to the South-West Metropolitan Regional Hospital Board concerning the appointment of a fire safety officer by the North-West Surrey Hospital Management Committee; and when the request for such guidance first reached his Department.
