The walls are solid, plastered walls which the builders slapped a coat of
white emulsion on.

The previous owners papered the walls, which I have just removed. Great
patches of the paint came off with the wallpaper leaving bare plaster.

I want to repaint the walls but need to remove all the loose paint. What
is
the easiest way to remove emulsion paint?

By accident I discovered that methylated spirit softens and
loosens emulsion. Brush it on, leave for fifteen minutes,
then scrape.
