§ Sir FRANCIS CHANNINGasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that the celluloid hair-curlers made in imitation of tortoise-shell, and frequently recommended by shop assistants as non-inflammable, are highly inflammable and may cause risk to users; and whether he has powers by regulation or otherwise to require that their inflammable nature should be stated on the boxes in which they are sold?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI am aware that articles made of celluloid are highly inflammable, and I think that this is now pretty generally known, and the accidents which come to the knowledge of my Department are few. I am advised that I have no power to make regulations in the matter.
