HC Deb 28 October 1992 vol 212 cc670-1W
Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Education (1) what guidance he has issued to grant-maintained schools on leakages of chlorofluorocar-bons and other ozone-destroying chemicals; and if he will make a statement;

(2) what steps he is taking to advise local education authorities on replacing halons in school fire extinguishing systems with non-ozone depleting substances; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Forth

The Department does not at present issue specific guidance on the use of ozone friendly or CFC-free materials in school buildings. However, the Department is currently reviewing the scope and content of its guidance on environmental standards for educational buildings.
