Mr. Leslie Huckfield

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations he has received from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents and the Showman's Guild of Great Britain about their joint code of fairground safety; and what reply he has sent.

Mr. Lane

None. I have received some representations from the Showman's Guild, but not directly on this point.

Mr. Leslie Huckfield

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects to make a further statement about his Department's future proposals for the introduction of legislation on increased standards of fairground safety.

The present law must first be reviewed to determine whether and in what way it needs to be strenghened. The review will be completed as soon as possible.
