§ Mr. Teddy Taylorasked the Secretary of State for Industry how many Common Market countries imposed national safety standards on the import and sale of gas 169W appliances after the agreement on a European standard; and if these national standards have had an effect on the export of British appliances.
§ Mr. Butcher[pursuant to his reply, 16 July 1982, c. 500.]: All 10 member States apply safely standards on the sale of gas appliances. There is no evidence that this has had a significant effect on the exports of British appliances.
