HC Deb 19 February 1991 vol 186 c127W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will make it his policy to restrict the import of chlorine-bleached pulp into the United Kingdom.

Mr. Leigh

Pulp mills in Sweden are going over to other methods of bleaching and those in north America are refining their methods to produce much lower levels of dioxins. United Kingdom industry is voluntarily going over as quickly as possible to wood pulp bleached by other methods, or to unbleached pulp. So there is no need to restrict imports.
