HC Deb 17 February 1966 vol 724 c293W
Mr. Hamling

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps his Department is taking to warn the public against the purchase of dangerous water heaters such as that of which the name has been supplied to him.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

The principal danger of these appliances comes from their use in bathrooms, where, as is well known, portable electrical appliances of any kind offer a special risk. The firm which manufactured the heater referred to by my hon. Friend is now in liquidation. I shall keep under review the possible need for action in respect of any other appliances of this kind.
