David Pearce, National Chairman of the AWCC, has written to Gerry Grimstone and Yvette Cooper, expressing concern at the possibility of BW losing control of it’s Non-operational Property Portfolio and the income that generates for BW. Copies of the letters are attached below.

We understand that a number of AWCC members have also written to their MPs and to other Government Ministers in a similar vein.

The Budget on Wednesday 22nd April will tell all.

The BSS have just released the attached alert on a specific type of portable stove with an integral gas canister.

“The release is made following incidents where people have been seriously burnt and is issued by the Boat Safety Scheme in association with Hampshire County Council Trading Standards.

There are many variants of such stoves and no single model or brand is implicated.

We have attached a generic image for your use and which is intended to reflect no one brand or model, but just a typical design.”

The alert discusses the possibilty of incorrect assembly which can result in the integral gas canister overheating with the possibility of a subsequent explosion.
