§ 29. Dr. Gilbertasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will bring the transport of butane, propane, and similar liquid gases under the scope of the Conveyance by Road Regulations.
§ Mr. SharplesMy right hon. Friend will shortly be inviting the Home Office Standing Advisory Committee on Dangerous Substances to consider this.
§ Dr. GilbertI thank the hon. Gentleman for that Answer. I hope he will bear in mind that recently there has been a series of incidents in crowded areas, including one in my constituency at the height of the shopping hours in which great loss of life was avoided only by the coolness and courage of the driver concerned?
§ Mr. SharplesYes, Sir. I am aware of the accident to which the hon. Gentleman refers.
