§ 13. Mrs. Sally Oppenheimasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will seek to make mandatory the Tremcard warning system for all transport vehicles carrying potentially dangerous loads.
§ Mr. LaneRegulations now being prepared will require vehicles conveying inflammable liquids and corrosive substances by road to carry information about the nature of the load and the measures to be taken in an emergency. Carriage of the appropriate Tremcard will satisfy this requirement. Similar regulations will later be made for other classes of dangerous substances.
§ Mrs. OppenheimIs my hon. Friend aware that I am grateful for his customary consideration and sympathy, and for his statement, which will be welcomed by the House? I am grateful to him for acting comparatively quickly in this matter.
