Mr. Wareing

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how many representations he has received about the fire hazard arising from the use of polyurethane foam in upholstered furniture; if he will introduce a ban on the use of such material for that purpose; what advice he has received about the availability of alternative and safer materials; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Maude

I refer the hon. Gentleman to the statement I made on this subject this afternoon.
