§ 45. Mr. Archerasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will introduce legislation to implement the recommendations of the International Commission on Rules for the Approval of Electrical Equipment relating to agreed colour coding of electrical leads.
§ Mr. EnnalsMy right hon. Friend is consulting the various interests about the need for regulations requiring the cores of three-core flexible cords supplied with domestic electrical appliances to comply with the colour code recommended by the International Commission. These colours are brown for the live core, light blue for the neutral and a combination of green and yellow for the earth core. My right hon. Friend will announce his decision as soon as possible.
