Oral Answers to Questions — Trade and Commerce – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 13 May 1958.
asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement on the work of the Joint Committee set up by the British Standards Institution and the Electrical Development Association to cover electrical appliances and accessories; and what further development of the work of this committee is contemplated.
The Joint Committee of the Electrical Development Association and the British Standards Institution on the safety of electrical appliances and accessories was set up after the war to test and advise on cases submitted to it where there may be doubt with regard to safety.
I understand that no development of the work of the Committee is contemplated; it will continue to operate as at present.
No, but I will make inquiries.
