§ 85. Mr. Hoosonasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will take steps to ensure that no manufacturer is allowed to sell agricultural machinery which at the time of sale is not equipped with proper guards or fencing to comply with the requirements of the Agriculture Safety Regulations.
§ Mr. HoySince 1st July, 1964, it has been an offence to sell new field machines for use in agriculture in Great Britain which do not comply with the Agriculture (Field Machinery) Regulations 1962. The sale of stationary farm machinery is not at present so controlled, and this is a matter we have under consideration.
