§ 7. Mr. CLOWESasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how often a sample of the glaze is taken for testing purposes when a pottery firm changes from lead glaze to leadless or low solubility; and how many samples of glaze were taken for analysis in the years 1924, 1925 and 1926?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir William Joynson-Hicks)It is not the practice to take a sample immediately after a change, but before the change takes place the inspector mutt be satisfied that the glaze will conform to the prescribed standard. After that, reliance is placed mainly upon systematic routine sampling. The total number of samples taken under the Regulations was, it 1924, 83; in 1925, 97; and in 1926, 84.
