While people (and Fair Trading) are concentrating on saving lives of children from falling out of windows above ground level, they really (in my opinion) have not thought the matter through sufficiently.
If you talk to someone in the FIRE BRIGADE they will tell you that by locking windows (and worse if the opening mechanism (key) is lost / faulty) YOU HAVE ELIMINATED A MEANS OF ESCAPE IN CASE OF A FIRE.
Such an event would cost more than one child’s life I suspect.
