§ 42. Mr. Geoffrey Lloydasked the Minister of Power whether he is satisfied that effective procedures exist, by regular sampling and otherwise, to ensure that solid patent fuels available in smokeless zones are at all times safe and unlikely to throw out sparks and burning material; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. FreesonManufacturers have a responsibility for the safety of the fuels they make. My Department, which is in touch with the main producers, has been assured that tests are employed but there are inherent difficulties in eliminating the possibility of sparks and burning material.
