HC Deb 06 July 1962 vol 662 c87W
Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why it has taken several years to prepare a scheme for marking tank vehicles carrying dangerous substances in bulk; and when it is now intended to publish it.

Mr. R. A. Butler

The matter is one of some complexity and discussions with the trade have necessarily been protracted. A list of substances and a provisional scheme of marking have been prepared, and have been referred to the local authority associations for comment.
