Steam is the way if you can as you won't need any chemicals at all.
If no, then Tensid do a 'non-harmful' paint remover. It's expensive but does the job.

if its a big enough job we could help you out with a low pressure blasting system that will take the layers of paint of without damaging anything

The only type I have come across that steam will not remove is distemper which hasn;t been used for years and this is only a couple of weeks old so shouldn't be a problem.
The only chemical I would take is a ghost remover... just in case.
