HC Deb 28 October 1946 vol 428 c48W
Mr. C. S. Taylor

asked the Minister of Transport whether all public service vehicles are compelled to carry fire extinguishers; and whether a regulation to this effect could be extended to cover all mechanically-propelled vehicles.

Mr. Barnes

All public service vehicles are required to carry fire extinguishers. I do not consider, on the evidence before me that I should be justified in imposing a similar obligation on all mechanically-propelled vehicles.
