HC Deb 23 June 1992 vol 210 cc181-2W
Mr. Hardy

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what representations she has received and what studies she has made concerning the problem of injuries sustained to individuals by discarded syringes; and if she will take action to require that such equipment shall be disposed of responsibly.

Mr. McLoughlin

I am not aware of any specific representation on discarded syringes nor of any studies made of injuries in this particular context. In view of the controls already in place, and the detailed guidance which is available, I do not believe there is a case for further action, but the position is kept under review.
