HC Deb 28 July 1989 vol 157 c1196W
Mr. Fearn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he has any further plans to regulate the sale of products containing chlorofluorocarbons; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

Production and supply of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are already limited by the Montreal protocol, which should be amended next year so as to require their complete elimination by the year 2000. We will legislate against specific products only if industry fails to maintain its rapid reduction in CFC consumption.
