HC Deb 20 December 1966 vol 738 c240W
43. Mr. Wallace

asked the Minister of Power if he will take steps to ensure that all power points in domestic and industrial use are equipped with earthing sockets.

Dr. Bray

No, it is the responsibility of the consumer to ensure that he has a proper earth, and I understand that the provision of earthing sockets is accepted practice in new installations work.
