§ Sir R. Russellasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he proposes to introduce safety regulations governing the transport by road of dangerous chemicals such as phosgene and chlorine gases and liquid oxygen.
§ Mr. Roy JenkinsOn the recommendations of the Standing Advisory Committee on Dangerous Substances, regulations have been prepared dealing with the conveyance by road of over 200 inflammable liquids, and I hope to make these soon. There is a wide range of substances to be considered, and the Committee has found it necessary to deal with them in an order of priority. The need for controls over the carriage by road of liquid and compressed gases will94W be considered, but I cannot yet say when regulations dealing with them may be made.
