Fire safety delays for emergency housing motels

Thousands of people in emergency housing motels are without higher fire safety protections, despite Cabinet promises six months ago to set standards for the first time. The government - which was advised it lacked "any formal power" to tell moteliers what to do - agreed last December to introduce the standards. But that is still to come - and a council at the emergency council epicentre has also been left waiting as it tries to boost its powers over motels. Phil Pennington has the story.
