Lancashire's Finance and General Purposes Sub-com­ mittee, said: "This annual free safety check of electric blankets is an important event, and anyone with an older blanket which has not been regularly serviced by an electrician should take advantage of this offer. "Older blankets can


develop unforeseen serious problems that our experts will check out. Last year in similar tests, -16% of the 593 blankets that were checked had faults."
