HC Deb 15 July 1971 vol 821 c156W
Mr. Ronald Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will take steps to re-introduce standard specifications for materials used in furniture manufacture, epsecially wood frames, interior materials and covers, enabling finished products to be stamped confirming compliance with minimum standards.

Mr. Ridley

There are British Standards, published by the British Standards Institution, covering a wide range of furniture materials. Manufacturers may be licensed to use B.S.I.'s Kitemark certifying conformity to these standards.
