maurden, To promote adhesion all that is needed is a coat of one of these primers: BITE PRIMER, Zinssers Universal Wallcovering Primer or R-35(Sherwin-Willaims). Over this glossy surface let the primer dry 24 hours...Mike

Thanks Mike,
sealing the walls with universal sealer seems to be the best option. However my husband is now thinking of cladding the wall with pine instead of wallpapering.
Thanks again, Maurden.
