HC Deb 20 March 1989 vol 149 c414W
Dr. Thomas

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will assess the employment creation potential of chlorofluorocarbons-free refrigerator production.

Mr. Nicholls

It is not possible to assess the employment creation potential of producing refrigerators free of chlorofluorocarbons. However, the eventual production in the United Kingdom of CFC-free refrigerators should benefit both our manufacturing industry and the world environment.
