HC Deb 26 January 1967 vol 739 c317W
32. Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is aware that certain polystyrene ceiling tiles at present on sale constitute a fire hazard; and if he will take steps to have them withdrawn.

Miss Bacon

My Department is consulting the Joint Fire Research Organisation and the British Plastics Federation with a view to assessing the nature of this hazard. Meanwhile, I do not think, on the information before me, that I should be justified in seeking the withdrawal of these ceiling tiles from sale.
