HC Deb 18 April 1990 vol 170 c935W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what action he is taking to recover chlorofluorocarbons from ships and submarines in dockyards.

Mr. Neubert

It is our policy as far as practicable to recover chlorofluorocarbons from ships and submarines in refit for recycling. In submarines, chlorofluorocarbons are already largely recovered for health and safety reasons. For surface ships, the policy will be introduced progressively.
