Lord Tyler asked Her Majesty's Government:
What discussions have taken place with the Civil Aviation Authority concerning the presence of B-naphthylamine in synthetic jet oil; and what level of B-naphthylamine is permitted in aircraft cabin air; and [HL1960] What is their response to advice from ExxonMobil that B-naphthylamine is present in their Jet Oil II product. [HL1961]
Lord Bassam of Brighton: There have been no discussions with the Civil Aviation Authority on this substance. The department is not aware of the presence of B-naphthylamine in aircraft cabin air. The Government are not aware of such advice from Exxon. We are aware, from the ExxonMobil safety data sheet for Mobil Jet Oil II, that the oil contains N-phenyl 1 Naphthylamine.
