HC Deb 15 July 1980 vol 988 cc510-1W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if, in view of its contamination with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, he will ask the Committee on the Safety of Medicines to carry out a review on the use of hexachlorophene as a bactericide for direct use on the person, particularly the female person, and of its use as an antiseptic in hospitals and in dental practice.

Dr. Vaughan

No. I am not aware of any fresh evidence which would justify a further review.
