HC Deb 24 July 1972 vol 841 c214W
62. Dr. Stuttaford

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, in view of the facts of a case reported to him by one of Her Majesty's coroners, he will take steps to ensure that imported cots do not represent a hazard to the life of children, and are of equal safety to those approved in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Lane

We are urgently studying this case with a view to taking appropriate action in respect of imported cots. The type of cot involved is not covered by existing British Standards, and the Home Office will also ask for a suitable Standard to be prepared.
