§ Mr. Malcolm BruceTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make representations to the management of F. W. Woolworth plc in respect of their product lines Christmas Snow and Silly String, in view of their ozone-depleting properties; if he will take steps to ban the use of ozone-depleting chemicals in non-essential products; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. TrippierI understand that it is the intention of the British aerosol industry that by the end of this year at least 90 per cent. of their products will be CFC free. It is the policy of the Government to phase out all CFC consumption by the end of the century.
