It is a matter for each local authority to provide their fire brigade personnel with suitable protective clothing. I do not propose to issue a recommendation on the lines suggested.
Has the Minister investigated the effect of this Swedish product?
It is not established that this product has the qualities Deputy Sweetman says it has.
It is so alleged by the Swedish Government. It is worth looking at.
