HC Deb 20 February 1986 vol 92 c276W
Mr. Caborn

asked the Paymaster General what level of short-term exposure to smoke he estimates that firemen can reasonably be expected to cope with without undue adverse effect.

Mr. Trippier

Adverse effects from smoke will depend on the products of combustion, and the nature and degree of exposure. Exposure should be kept as low as is reasonably practicable.
