HC Deb 20 March 1969 vol 780 c127W
9. Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what discussions he has had with interested bodies about the introduction of regulations to prevent the sale of domestic electrical goods which are not constructed to minimum safety standards; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

The Home Office has been studying the complex problems involved and the extent to which regulations of the kind proposed would be feasible. My right hon. Friend expects the results of this study shortly. Interested bodies will be fully consulted on the preparation of any regulations.
