asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he has taken during the past 12 months to draw to the public's attention the danger of fat pan fires; and what steps he proposes to take to do so during the forthcoming 12 months.

Measures in the past year have included a television advertising campaign in the Tyne-Tees and Harlech areas, as part of a series of regional campaigns; the provision of "filler" films and radio tapes for use by television and radio stations; and the production and distribution of over a million booklets and leaflets and nearly a quarter of a million stickers. A similar programme is planned for the coming year.
