§ Commander BELLAIRSasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware 938W that refrigerators are in use in this country using methyl chloride; and, in view of the danger to life, if any action is to be taken to prevent its use?
§ Mr. SHORTI have been asked the reply. I am aware that methyl chloride is used in a number of these machines, but I have no evidence at present in my possession which would justify interference with its use. I understand that it is the practice of the makers to issue instructions with these machines, and so far as I have been able to ascertain these instructions have proved sufficient. If, however, the hon. and gallant Member has any information to the contrary, my right hon. Friend will be glad to consider it.
