§ Miss Boothroydasked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) whether he will assess the impact on the United Kingdom lighting industry of German electrical restrictions; and if he will make a statement.
(2) why restrictions are placed on the use of United Kingdom manufactured luminaires in British bases in Germany; what steps he has taken or proposes to take concerning such restrictions; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. ChopeAny restrictions must impact on the United Kingdom lighting industry, but I cannot assess the precise extent. Some of the apparent restrictions are already the subject of specific representations by officials from DTI and the Lighting Industry Federation.
