§ 1. Mr. Doddsasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what should be done with civilian respirators that have obviously deteriorated; and whether he will either call them in for overhaul or advise the public how to dispose of them with the greatest advantage as salvage.
§ The Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department (Mr. Geoffrey de Freitas)I am advised that the repair of damaged respirators would be uneconomical and the salvage value negligible.
§ Mr. DoddsDoes my hon. Friend suggest that in the circumstances respirators should be put in the salvage bin or in the dustbin?
§ Mr. de FreitasThe Question refers to "respirators that have obviously deteriorated." The public should be very careful about throwing away respirators unless they are obviously deteriorating.
