§ Mr. FlynnTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans he has to require that condom machines in entertainment venues and public lavatories stock only products approved to British kite mark standards; and if he will make a statement. [12915]
§ Ms Jowell[holding answer 27 October 1997]: I refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave him on 27 October 1997, Official Report column 767.
There is no general power which would enable me to require this. However, local authority Trading Standards Officers could take action under the General Product Safety Regulations 1994 if the product could be deemed unsafe under the regulations.
