HC Deb 21 May 1936 vol 312 c1353
28. Mr. LEACH

asked the Home Secretary whether he is yet in a position to introduce legislation for the prevention of injury and death due to the numerous everyday articles, particularly toys on sale made of celluloid or other highly inflammable substance, which are purchased mostly by a public ignorant of the danger incurred?

Sir. J. SIMON

I am afraid that this is a matter which it would be most difficult to deal with by legislation.
