§ Mr. RedwoodTo ask the President of the Board of Trade if she will list the companies licensed to produce(a) thionyl chloride, (b) ethyl succinyl chloride and (c) propane phosphoric dichloride. [8973]
§ Mrs. Beckett[holding answer 17 July 1997]: Propane phosphoric dichloride is not know to my Department, although propane phosphonic dichloride is known. The production of this chemical, as well as of thionyl chloride and ethyl succinyl chloride, does not require a licence.
731WMy officials advise that thionyl chloride is manufactured in the UK by three companies, ethyl succinyl chloride by one company and propane phosphonic dichloride by two companies, and that further information is available from the Chemical Industries Association Internet site, "Sourcerer"— http://www.sourcerer.co.uk.
