§ Mr. Peter Freemanasked the Minister of Agriculture if he will introduce legislation to prevent accidents arising from the faulty use of electric milking apparatus; how many cases have been reported to him; and what steps are being taken to prevent any recurrence.
§ Sir T. DugdaleI understand that a few cases of cows having been electrocuted in byres in recent years have been reported. Under Regulations, electricity boards require any installation to comply with certain safety standards, and I am not satisfied that further safety provisions are needed.
