HC Deb 07 February 1972 vol 830 c244W
60. Mr. Spriggs

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what standards his Department applies before issuing import licences for such items as babies' rubber teats; whether his attention has been drawn to a dangerously designed rubber teat which had been imported from a foreign country; and what was the nature of his reply.

Mr. Noble

I can see no justification for controlling such imports in the absence of controls on their manufacture and sale in the United Kingdom, on which the hon. Member is asking a separate question of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Home Department.
