HC Deb 08 December 1982 vol 33 cc516-7W
Mr. Gwilym Roberts

asked the Minister for Trade (1) what representations he has recently received about the sale of dangerous toys;

(2) what representations he has recently received about the sale of dangerous electrical goods;

(3) if he will list in the Official Report representations he has recently received about the sale of dangerous goods, other than toys and electrical goods.

Dr. Vaughan

[pursuant to his reply, 29 November 1982, c. 60]: My Department has numerous inquiries every day about the safety of toys, electrical goods, and other products. I am worried at the number, particularly of electrical goods of various kinds. I am examining our powers under the Consumer Safety Act and Consumer Protection Act and expect to make a statement in the near future.
