HC Deb 12 March 1984 vol 56 cc22-3W
Mr. Waller

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will seek to amend section 10 of the Rag Flock and Other Filling Materials Act 1951, so as to ensure that the provisions of the Act apply to imported articles, as well as those manufactured in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Kilroy-SilK

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will introduce legislation to amend the Rag Flock and Other Filling Substances Act 1951 to ensure that it applies to imported bedding.

Mr. Waldegrave

My right hon. Friend is aware of the apparent loophole in section 10 of the 1951 Act; he will pursue the question of amending legislation when a suitable opportunity arises.
