HC Deb 14 November 1972 vol 846 c96W
81. Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will ban the use of hexachlorophane in douching compounds and feminine hygiene sprays in the light of the possibility of subsequent malformed babies, as shown in the animal research report sent to him by the hon. Member for Willesden, West.

Mr. Lane

I am reviewing the use of hexachlorophane in non-medicinal toilet preparations. I shall take full account of this research report.
