HC Deb 26 October 1983 vol 47 c100W
Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for Energy whether he has made any investigations or taken other steps concerning the presence of asbestos in gas cookers now in use and purchased prior to the voluntary ban by manufacturers on their use of asbestos.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

I am consulting the various interests concerned about any possible problems arising from the presence of asbestos in some mains gas cookers manufactured before 1977.
