HC Deb 04 July 1984 vol 63 cc184-5W
Mr. Norman Atkinson

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many prosecutions have taken place in respect of unsafe electrical products and electric light bulbs manufactured in non-European Economic Community countries; and if he will list the countries concerned separately.

Mr. Fletcher

In a report on consumer safety made to the House of Commons in October 1983, 203 convictions were listed relating to the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations for the year ending 31 March 1983. No information is available on the proportion of these goods which involved imported products.
