HC Deb 14 February 1989 vol 147 cc165-6W
Ms. Ruddock

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he will commission a study on the side effects of the manufacture of disposable nappies for infants styled superabsorbent.

Mr. Forth

I have asked the two brand leaders for full details of the chemical composition of the active ingredient in superabsorbent disposable nappies. Our toxicologists at the Department of Health will check whether they are liable to pose a hazard to health.
