§ Mr. Nicholas WintertonTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) what advice his Department gives as part of its anti-AIDS campaign on the disposal of used condoms;
(2) what research has been undertaken by his Department into the health risks posed by different methods of disposal of condoms.
