HC Deb 20 February 1984 vol 54 c377W
Mr. Steen

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will consider taking measures to control the sale of such paraffin lamp oil as resembles in colour and smell fruit and other edible matter; and if he will consider making an order under consumer protection legislation.

Mr. Alexander Fletcher

Of the two companies that used to manufacture scented lamp oil, one has gone into voluntary liquidation and the other has stopped supplying the scented version. There is unlikely to be much, if any, left in the supply chain, but if hon. Members hear of any still being sold in any quantity I should be grateful if they would let me know.
