§ Mr. Nigel GriffithsTo ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will takes steps to include loose car seat covers and car seats in the definition of furniture in the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 as is amended or introduce legislation to set safety standards for car seats and loose car seat covers. [24434]
§ Mr. Jonathan EvansI have no present plans to do so. So far, there is no evidence to suggest that the flammability of current loose car seat covers or car seats represents a significant risk to life and would warrant inclusion within the scope of, for example, the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988, as amended.
