§ Mr. Conwayasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what steps he plans to take about the conflict between EEC directive 82–499 on main governors on electric fences and BS2632–1980 and BS800–1983; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. ButcherThere is no direct conflict. I understand that manufacturers in the United Kingdom have raised a problem about the suitability of the radio interference requirement for high energy mains governors on electric fences contained in BS800–1983. They have been advised to raise the problem in the appropriate BSI technical committee.
