HC Deb 09 February 1954 vol 523 c99W
61. Mr. Willey

asked the President of the Board of Trade what progress has now been made regarding furniture performance standards.

Mr. H. Strauss

The British Standards Institution has published standards embodying performance tests for four types of furniture—cabinet goods, dining-type chairs, tables and bedstead ends. A standard for upholstered furniture will, I understand, be published soon.
