"Mr President, I should like to draw the attention of the House to the tragic fire at the Penhallow Hotel on the seafront of Newquay, Cornwall, in my constituency.
Three people died in the fire: one because he jumped from a high window, and two – one of whom is rumoured to have been disabled – died in their rooms. These people would probably not have died if they had lived elsewhere in the European Union. In Hungary, for example, a hotel of this height would have been required to have had sprinklers fitted. In the last four years, 60 people in Europe have died in fires in hotels where no sprinklers were fitted; no one in Europe has died in a fire in a hotel where sprinklers have been fitted.
I ask the Commission to take this fact into account and to bring forward proposals in terms of fire safety legislation for hotels across the Union."@en1
