HC Deb 10 May 1988 vol 133 c88W
66. Mr. Allan Roberts

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services if there are any plans to ban the use of aerosols in his Department's buildings; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Currie

Whilst we have no plans to place a ban on the use of aerosols in the Department's buildings, we support action which is in hand internationally to limit the use of chlorofluorocarbon propellants and to adopt the most suitable alternatives. In the meantime, the Department will continue to observe hazard warnings on, for example, flammable products and to use appropriate chemical products safely and cost effectively.
