HC Deb 13 May 2002 vol 385 c462W
Mr. Sayeed

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what representations she has received concerning the equity of international standards-setting guidelines for refrigerants; and if she will make a statement. [54628]

Mr. Wilson

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry has received several representations from manufacturers of hydrocarbon refrigerants.

Mr. Sayeed

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what representations she has made concerning United Kingdom Government policy on HFCs to the international standards-setting body responsible for refrigeration standards. [54627]

Mr. Wilson

None. The standardisation process is independent of governments: representation is made through national standards bodies which, for the UK, is the British Standards Institution.
