§ Mrs. Renée Shortasked the Secretary of State for Industry (1) if he will take steps to control imports of rear cycle lamps which do not conform to British standards;
(2) if he will take steps to protect and maintain the jobs of workers producing rear cycle lamps, a product under threat from imported lamps which do not conform to British standards.
§ Mr. MacGregor[pursuant to his reply, 20 January 1983, c. 180.]: Legal requirements for rear cycle lamps are a matter for the Department of Transport. I welcome any steps taken to curtail the supply of lamps which do not comply with the legal requirements. Meanwhile it is open to any British manufacturer to seek support from this Department under its various assistance schemes.
