HC Deb 21 January 1975 vol 884 c279W
Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Secretary of State for Employment when he expects to publish a code of practice for the use of vinyl chloride in factories; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Harold Walker

I have been informed by the Chairman of the Health and Safety Commission that it is anticipated that the Vinyl Chloride Code of Practice for Health Precautions will be published in temporary format during February 1975. This code will deal with the manufacture of vinyl chloride and its subsequent polymerisation to polyvinyl chloride.
