HC Deb 20 July 1950 vol 477 c199W
108. Mr. Llewellyn

asked the Minister of Works whether his attention has been drawn to the large number of accidents caused by unguarded electric fires to old people and children; and whether he will consult with the trade with a view to ensuring that guards may be available to purchasers of electric fires.

Mr. Stokes

The question of accidents in the home is being examined by an Inter-Departmental Committee and I will consider an approach to the trade in the light of any recommendations the Committee may make.
