§ Mrs. Joyce Butlerasked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will seek powers to control the import of products in aerosol containers where the propellant is known or believed to be vinyl chloride monomer; and if he will make a statement.
§ Dr. SummerskillI have been asked to reply.
There is no evidence that aerosols containing vinyl chloride monomer are being imported into this country but the Home Office is taking steps to warn importers, wholesalers and retailers not to sell imported aerosols containing this substance.
