HC Deb 08 April 1974 vol 872 c42W
Mr. Graham

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is satisfied with the regulations concerning the safety of children's toys in the hands of children and with the observance of such regulations; and whether he will make a statement.

Dr. Summerskill

The existing regulation are limited in scope and my right hon. Friend therefore proposes to replace them as soon as possible by more comprehensive regulations, a draft of which has already been circulated to interested bodies for comment. Enforcement is a matter for the local authorities, but we have no reason to suppose that the regulations are not generally observed.
