Mr. Gresham Cookeasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what progress is being made in revising the model conditions for petroleum spirit licences so as to allow automatic cut-off pump nozzles to be used without an attendant, for the convenience of the motorist and the better use of manpower, with consequent increase in productivity.
§ Mr. George ThomasA revised version of the Model Code of Principles of Construction and Licensing Conditions for Petrol Filling Stations, which takes account of these devices, will shortly be submitted to the Standing Advisory Committee on Dangerous Substances for its106W consideration. The revised Code, if approved, will then be circulated for the general guidance of the licensing authorities as soon as possible.
