§ Mr. J. RodgersI am glad to be able to inform my hon. Friend that the British Standards Institution will very shortly publish the new standard specifications for fabrics of low flammability and for materials for flameproof clothing, which we propose to use as the basis for amending the Regulations under the Act of 1913. The revised Regulations will be laid before the House on the 9th April170W and full details about them will be given in an announcement by the Board of Trade on the same day.
