§ Colonel DAYasked the Home Secretary if he is aware that a large number of Christmas novelties, including children's toys and dolls, are of a highly inflammable nature; and will he, in the interests of public safety, consider legislation with a view to prohibiting the sale of such dangerous toys?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSYes, Sir: but I am afraid that legislation on the lines suggested is impracticable. The matter was recently considered by the Royal Commission on Fire Prevention, and I would refer the hon. Member to paragraphs 152 and 153 of their Report.
