HC Deb 13 December 1965 vol 722 c216W
Mr. Owen

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will take steps to establish a national safety code for a beach signs warning system around the coast to reduce accidents by drowning.

Sir F. Soskice

A voluntary code of this kind, prepared by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, has been widely circulated to local authorities, on whom responsibility for taking action to ensure the safety of bathers primarily rests.
