45. Mrs. Butlerasked the Minister of Labour what progress has been made with the proposed Carcinogenic Substances (Prohibition) Regulations and the Carcinogenic Substances (Prohibition of Importation) Order.
§ The Minister of Labour (Mr. R. J. Gunter)I expect to publish a statutory draft of the Carcinogenic Substances Regulations within the next few weeks.
Mrs. ButlerCan my right hon. Friend say whether the Regulations will include provisions for the transport and disposal of waste substances which may be carcinogenic, as this is causing considerable concern to many members of the public in the areas where these products are disposed of?
§ Mr. GunterI am afraid that I could not answer that question offhand, but I will certainly let my hon. Friend have the answer.
