HC Deb 16 October 1973 vol 861 cc132-3W
Mrs. Sally Oppenheim

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many consumer products or substances have been banned or voluntarily withdrawn from the market for reasons of health or safety due to regulations made under the Consumer Protection Act 1961, since that enactment became law; and what they were.

Mr. Lane

Regulations made under the Consumer Protection Act 1961 apply at present to oil-heaters, fire-guards, nightdresses, children's toys, carry-cot stands, 3-core flexes on electrical appliances, electric blankets and tinned cooking utensils. I regret that the information asked for about voluntary withdrawals from sale is not available.
