HC Deb 28 March 1983 vol 40 c17W
30. Mr. John Hunt

asked the Minister for Trade if he will specify the laws, regulations and administrative provisions which will need to be introduced in the United Kingdom in order to comply with the European directive 82/849 EEC on the right of establishment of hairdressers.

Mr. Sproat

No United Kingdom legislation is needed. Administrative procedures require the designation of the authorities and bodies competent to issue or receive the declarations, applications, certificates and other documents referred to in the directive. My Department is in consultation with the European commission about this.

Mr. John Hunt

asked the Minister for Trade if, in the light of the adoption of the European directive 82/849 EEC on the right of establishment of hairdressers, he has any plans to seek to introduce legislation to establish a licence to practice for hairdressing in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Sproat

I have no plans to do so.
