HL Deb 03 July 1980 vol 411 cc732-3WA
Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether dry powder fire extinguishers are recommended for use on tractors and combine harvesters; and, if so, why.

Lord BELSTEAD

Dry powder extinguishers are not specifically recommended in this context, although they are convenient to use and offer rapid action.
