§ 7. Mr. Steeleasked the Minister of Fuel and Power if his attention has been drawn to the slot-meter gassing incident in Glasgow on 10th February, in which three boys were saved from death only by chance; and if he is prepared to assist the Gas Board to install a cut-off valve which would eliminate this danger.
§ Mr. Aubrey JonesThe Scottish Gas Board has not asked for my help. In the first instance, it is to the boards themselves that I look to do what they can to eliminate the danger of gas-poisoning accidents.
