As indicated on the fire safety topic, people are beginning to forget about the good advice of that honourable gentleman, Sir Ken Knight, who advised that, in the case of one particular hotel (and, technically, only that hotel of course) heat detectors in the bedrooms satisfied the FSO and that a FRA to that effect was correct.

" I have concluded that, in this case, the use of heat detectors in the hotel bedroom provides a suitable technical solution to demonstrate compliance with the FSO, and I am advising the Secretary of State accordingly"
