• The Employment Secretary is to consider whether some measure of control over the storage of liquefied petroleum gas in factories should be introduced, following the report of the Commissioner on the public inquiry into the draft Highly Flammable Liquids Regulations.
This was stated in the Commons by the Home Office's Mr David Lane after he had been urged to introduce legislation to control the use of the gas.
Mr Lane said the Home Secretary was awaiting the production by the Standing Advisory Committee on Dangerous Substances of guidance as to the storage of portable liquefied petroleum gas containers, to complement the code already published on storing and handling at fixed installations.
The introduction of comprehensive statutory controls would then be considered in the light of any relevant recommendations of the Robens Committee on Safety and Health at Work.
