Under section 365 of the Housing Act 1985 the local housing authority have powers to require houses in multiple occupation to be provided with means of escape from fire and other adequate fire precautions.
Before exercising those powers in relation to certain houses, authorities are required to consult fire authorities. Article 3 of this Order adds specified descriptions of houses to those where this obligation applies.
Article 4 specifies a description of houses in relation to which authorities have a duty to act when they have a power to do so.
