HC Deb 18 March 1971 vol 813 c393W
Mr. Ronald Brown

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what delays have been experienced by manfacturers and others who require materials to be fire tested at the Fire Research Station, Boreham Wood; if he is satisfied that the manpower level is adequate for the needs of a fire research station; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Amery

Standard fire tests are being dealt with promptly. Some tests require special facilities and take longer to prepare and carry out, but I have no evidence that these are subject to undue delay.
