§ Mr. Clinton Davisasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps he proposes to take with regard to the use of industrial glue in house building by local authorities and private building consequent upon the observations made by Mr. Douglas Chambers, the Coroner for St. Pancras, during an inquest held at St. Pancras on 13th May, 1971, particulars of which have been sent to him.
§ Mr. AmeryI am informed by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Employment that draft regulations covering the use of highly flammable liquids in places subject to the Factories Act, 1961—which include building sites—have recently been the subject of a public inquiry, of which the report is awaited. I understand that the industrial glue used in this case would probably come under such regulations. The material is not a hazard after it has been applied on a building.
