§ Mr. BlunkettTo ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (1) whether he has plans to restrict the use of chlorine bleached pulp in disposable nappies;
(2) whether he has plans to restrict the use of coffee filters treated with dioxin producing bleaches.
§ Mr. ForthI refer the hon. Member to the answer given by the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of 93W Agriculture, Fisheries and Food on 28 November, at column 96. I understand that the quantities of dioxin which may occur in these products are very small. I will consider the matter further when the expert advice from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and the committee on toxicity at the Department of Health is available.
