HC Deb 06 December 1989 vol 163 c296W
44. Mr. Tredinnick

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he has any plans to change the labelling requirements for consumer goods.

Mr. Forth

Additional labelling requirements will come into force over the next year for toys and all-terrain vehicles. The Government have made clear their support for the early introduction of a Community-wide voluntary eco-labelling scheme.

49. Mr. Mullin

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry when he last met the European Commissioner, Sir Leon Brittan; and what matters were discussed.

Mr. Ridley

I last met Sir Leon Brittan on 23 November at the Internal Market Council. A number of issues were discussed, in particular the draft merger control regulation.
