§ Mr. Kinnockasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, in the light of a recent death caused by the inhalation of anti-perspirant, he will seek powers to prevent the sale of deodorant sprays until manufacturers can provide non-toxic solutions for sprays.
§ Mr. LaneI am not convinced that this would be justified, because there are a number of toilet preparations which might prove harmful to health if misapplied. These sprays must comply with the Poisons Rules and will also be subject to the EEC directive on cosmetics now in course of preparation.
