§ Miss Boothroydasked the Secretary of State for Transport what interested parties are being consulted regarding the draft regulations made under the Consumer Safety Act 1978 relating to the quality of imported replacement vehicle light bulbs: what stage the consultations have reached; and on what date he expects to lay the draft regulations before Parliament.
§ Mr. Kenneth Clarke[pursuant to his reply, 16 December 1981, c. 164]: In addition to those bodies normally consulted about proposals for new vehicle safety standards, organisations concerned with consumer safety generally and the retail trade were invited to comment. We intend to lay the regulations before Parliament soon after the Christmas Recess.
