28. Mr. John H. Osborn

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he remains satisfied after cases involving constituents in the Hallam Division of Sheffield, that gas cookers approved to BS 5258 Part 2 —the gas cooker safety standard—will not allow enough gas to escape to cause an explosion in the event of the failure of the automatic ignition.

Dr. John Cunningham

Yes.
