§ 63. Mr. Errollasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that the work of standardisation in the engineering industry is hindered because a large number of British standard specifications are out of print; and whether he will consult with the British Standards Institution to ensure that all possible departmental assistance is given to make reprints speedily available.
§ Mr. H. WilsonI have no evidence that the work of standardisation in the engineering industry is hindered because British standard specifications are out of print. If the hon. Member is aware of any particular cases and will provide me with details, I should be glad to bring them to the attention of the British Standards Institution.
