§ 48. Mrs. Joyce Butlerasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what proposals he has for phasing out the unnecessary packaging of products in aerosol containers, in view of the possible environmental dangers; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. MarksWe have no such proposals at present. A decision on whether to regulate the use of certain gases used as propellants in aerosols will be taken in the light of the results of the research programme which my Department is supporting.
