§ 36. Mr. Liptonasked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection whether she is aware of the inflammable nature of spectacle frames made of cellulose nitrate; and whether she will take steps to stop the sale of these articles.
§ Mr. John FraserThe flammability of cellulose nitrate is well known. But the available evidence suggests that any risk from spectacle frames of this material is negligible and I am not at present convinced that there is any justification for stopping their sale.
