HC Deb 29 July 1965 vol 717 c152W
18. Mr. John Wells

asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps his Department are taking to promote personal buoyancy appliances at a reasonable price for dinghy sailors as opposed to the more cumbersome and expensive full life jackets.

Mr. Mason

The Board of Trade are setting up a working group to consider what safety appliances pleasure yachts and similar craft under 45 feet in length should be required or recommended to carry. Interested organisations have been invited to join in this work which will include consideration of personal buoyancy appliances.
