HC Deb 24 February 1986 vol 92 c420W
Mr. McCrindle

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will take steps to ban the pot plant commonly known as Jade in view of its known poisonous properties.

Mr. Howard

No. The National Poisons Centre advises me that house plants are not a significant health hazard and that it is very rare for children swallowing them to suffer serious or lasting harm.
