HC Deb 14 May 1971 vol 817 c182W
Mr. Biffen

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will publish in the Board of Trade Journal the European Commission directives or suggested directives concerning aerosol containers, agricultural machinery and tractors, containers of reinforced plastic, cosmetics, cranes, hoists and lifts, dangerous substances, electrical apparatus and equipment, fertilisers, glass, non-electrical appliances, household cleaning products, instruments and equipment for measuring and weighing, materials and objects in contact with foodstuffs, motor vehicles, mopeds, gas pipelines, oil pipelines, precious metals, pressure vessels, scaffolding, textiles, and welding and metal cutting equipment.

Mr. Anthony Grant

No. Directives approved by the Council of Ministers and proposed Directives submitted to it by the Commission are published in the official journal of the European Communities which is already available through the Stationery Office. The Department has arrangements for bringing these Directives and drafts to the attention of the British interests most closely involved and for consulting them about their contents.
