§ Mr. William Priceasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a separate code of the regulations to cover the storage and use of liquefied petroleum gases.
§ Mr. Dudley SmithThe industrial storage of liquefied petroleum gases is covered by the Highly Flammable Liquids and Liquefied Petroleum Gases Regulations 1972 which came into force on 21st June 1973. The need for separate regulations concerning the industrial use of liquefied petroleum gases will be kept82W under review in the light of experience gained from the 1972 Regulations.
§ Mr. William Priceasked the Secretary of State for Employment what arrangements he proposes to make to ensure that industry is made aware of the fact that the Certificate of Approval No. 1 for Fire Resisting Structures issued by Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Factories under the Highly Flammable Liquids and Liquefied Petroleum Gas Regulations differs materially from the standard indicated in the first edition of the guide to the regulations.
§ Mr. Dudley SmithThe first edition of the guide to the regulations gave only an early indication of the standards which might be approved, and stated that its contents should be read in conjunction with the regulations. The reprinted edition of the guide makes an amendment to paragraph 3 and includes a revised paragraph 6. It leaves unamended paragraphs 4, 5 and 7, which also deal with fire-resisting structures. As soon as the details of the certificate of approval were prepared copies were printed and the guide amended and reprinted. Both are on sale from Her Majesty's Stationery Office. In addition various industrial organisations including the CBI, TUC and Chemical Industries Association were sent copies of the certificate for the information of their members.
