THE Home Secretary had no reason for supposing that the regulations governing the conveyance by road of petroleum spirit and carbon disulphide, made under the Petroleum (Consolidation) Act, 1928, were not properly enforced, said Mr. George Thomas, Parliamentary Under Secretary at the Home Office, this week.
He was also asked about regulations governing the carriage of propane gas on lorries, particularly those which were not specially designed for the purpose. Mr. Thomas pointed out that road carriage of this gas was not at present subject to any specific controls, but noted that the need for appropriate regulations was being considered by the Standing Advisory Committee on Dangerous Substances.
