HC Deb 14 July 1966 vol 731 c257W
Mr. Gwilym Roberts

asked the President of the Board of Trade if, in view of possible dangers to the public from products such as aerosol oven cleaners, he will introduce legislation to provide for the compulsory medical testing of domestic chemical products.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

I have been asked to reply.

Where necessary, action to deal with any such dangers can be taken under the Pharmacy and Poisons Act, 1933, or the Consumer Protection Act, 1961, and I am not convinced that further legislation is needed.
