§ 29. Mrs. Joyce Butlerasked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection what progress she is making in the preparation of a statutory ingredient labelling scheme for toilet preparations; and if she will make a statement.
Mr. Alan WilliamsIt is my intention to have regulations relating to the safety of cosmetic products prepared as soon as the proposed EEC directive on cosmetics is adopted. The draft directive requires the presence of certain ingredients to be indicated on the label, and we have recently proposed that the list of these should be extended. I hope that the directive will be adopted early in 1976.
