106. Colonel Stoddart-Scott

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if an alternative antiseptic to iodine has yet been approved for use underground; and what are the results of the practical trials being made underground to determine the suitability of other forms of antiseptics.

Mr. Gaitskell

No alternative antiseptic to iodine has yet been approved for use underground. The practical trials to which the hon. Member refers are still proceeding.
