HC Deb 22 June 1989 vol 155 cc205-6W
Mr. Cryer

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the progress on phasing out aerosols containing chlorofluorocarbon propellants; and if he expects to introduce legislation making the sale of such items illegal.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

[holding answer 21 June 1989]: Members of the British Aerosol Manufacturers Association are well on course to meet the objective of eliminating the non-essential use of chlorofluorocarbons in their products by the end of this year. Legislation to this effect is not needed in the circumstances.
