HC Deb 28 April 1955 vol 540 cc1062-3
51. Mr. P. Wells

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what response he has received from manufacturers to provide adequate guards to power take-offs and driving shafts on agricultural equipment.

Mr. Nugent

Recent discussion of this subject by the Agricultural Machinery Advisory Committee indicates that manufacturers of agricultural machinery are in general aware of the need to provide adequate guards for power take-offs and driving shafts. My Department has published a leaflet which emphasises the necessity of providing, and keeping in place, such guards.
