§ Mr. Fauldsasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, in view of the fire hazard of ordinary plastic foam, if he will introduce regulations to ban the manufacture of such foam except that treated to make it fire and flame resistant.
§ Mr. SharplesMy right hon. Friend has no power to prohibit the manufacture of untreated plastic foam. He is not aware of any evidence that articles in which such foam has been used as a filling material significantly increase fire hazards in the home.
