HC Deb 18 December 1956 vol 562 cc135-6W
82. Captain Duncan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will instruct the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board to start a campaign for the sale of fireguards for electrical appliances not covered by the Fireguards Act.

Member for Dunbartonshire, West (Mr. Steele) on 4th December may be completed.

Mr. J. Stuart

I am assured by the Board that it has co-operated with the British Electrical Development Association in campaigns on safe methods of using heating and other electrical appliances, and display leaflets on these matters in its showrooms. I understand that the Board has supplied to consumers fireguards suitable for heating appliances sold before the current requirements came into force.
