HC Deb 02 November 1965 vol 718 c157W
Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when regulations concerning the lead content in painted toys are to be introduced; and whether conclusions have now been reached on the hazards of unsafe plastic toys, children's nightdresses and lifejackets at present being considered.

Mr. George Thomas

Draft regulations dealing with the lead content of the paint used on toys will be circulated very shortly to the various bodies concerned for their comments. On the other matters, I have nothing to add to the reply given to my hon. Friend's Question on 13th May, except that the Working Party on Inflammable Clothing has been set up and has held a number of meetings.
