§ Mr. Coombsasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he has any plans to introduce legislation requiring all gas cookers to be installed with flues; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyI have been asked to reply.
No. The Gas Safety (Intallation and Use) Regulations 1984 already require gas installers to ensure that piped gas appliances can be used without endangering persons or property. Most gas cooking appliances are designed not to need flues when properly installed.
