§ Mrs. Bainasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list in the Official Report the names and quantities of carcinogenic substances subject to the Carcinogenic Substances (Prohibition of Importation) Order 1967 which have been imported since the coming into force of the Order; and what steps have been taken during that period to monitor such imports.
§ Mr. Robert SheldonThe statistics compiled by Her Majesty's Customs and Excise do not distinguish the substances subject to the Carcinogenic Substances (Prohibition of Importation) Order 1967 from other substances in the same tariff headings. Her Majesty's Customs and Excise procedures are designed to prevent the importation of restricted goods without the necessary licence.
