My hon. Friend is making a good point about a matter that was brought home to me recently. Hon.

The consequence of such events in major buildings with no sprinkler systems is not just the risk of loss of life, but often the permanent loss of jobs where buildings cannot reopen and the huge damage to industrial and public buildings.
