The list is endless; my hon. Friend is right. As he was at the vanguard of the campaign on the issue of high hedges—legislation has now been introduced, which I will touch on later—he is aware of some of the inherent dangers in cutting down high hedges. I know that he secured some debates around the subject.

In 1996, the Department of Trade and Industry undertook a garden safety campaign and produced a leaflet on the question. It was a fantastic leaflet, embracing all the hazards that one could find in the garden. My hon. Friend has already asked where else there would be accidents. As well as step ladders, there are all sorts of new electrical tools, while barbecues take place in almost every garden in the summer. There are swings in gardens, and fences—the list goes on and on.

I ask the Minister at the very least to have his Department consider reinstating the leaflet and putting it in all garden centres. To back that up, it is also important for the home accident surveillance system statistics to be reinstated. Instead of being reactive, the Department should become proactive on the subject of garden safety. There is no doubt that there is a need to protect the public. The DTI is responsible for public safety, but it does not seem to demonstrate itself. The data that we had, which were useful in the Department and even more useful outside, would be used by many in the industry. They highlighted some of the dangers in the garden, but the focus of that has been lost. What we are getting is a growing number of people in danger.
