HC Deb 28 October 1946 vol 428 c257
8. Mr. Erroll

asked the Minister of Supply what progress is being made towards the standardisation of a domestic electric socket and plug; in view of the urgency of the housing programme, whether a standard specification has been issued; and whether the principal manufacturers have agreed to its adoption.

Mr. Wilmot

The majority of manufacturers have been using British Standards Institute specifications for some considerable time.

Mr. Erroll

Has the Minister knowledge of the new specifications which are now under consideration?

Mr. Wilmot

Yes, Sir.
