§ Mr. P. ThomasYes.
My Department has already issued advisory leaflets on fire prevention and flammable substances to all factory occupiers. My right hon. Friend intends to make fire prevention regulations and preparatory work is already in hand. Any information received from the Working Party on Inflammable Substances will be carefully considered by my Department.
