§ SIR C. DILKE (Gloucester, Forest of Dean)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the master potters proposed in their reply to the Home Office to make delay in the employment of fritted lead; and what steps he intends to take to induce the manufacturers to carry out the requirements of the Lead Report?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir M. W. RIDLEY, Lancashire, Blackpool)The master potters have definitely undertaken to use in future for glazes only 961 "fritted" lead, but they ask that those of their number who have no experience in "fritted" glazes may be allowed a reasonable time to master the practical points. This request seems reasonable As already stated, I propose to amend the special rules for this trade, in order to give effect as far as practicable to the recommendations of the experts.
