§ 71. Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieuasked the Minister of Power whether he is aware that because pipes for electricity, gas and water are sometimes identical in size and colour, accidents occur to workmen engaged on repair work; and whether he will seek power to lay down regulations to ensure that in future such pipes are readily distinguishable from each other.
§ Mr. PeytonAccidents of this kind normally occur before the cables and pipes are uncovered so that to make them readily distinguishable after they have been uncovered would not help.
