HC Deb 22 October 1986 vol 102 c899W
Mr. Galley

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will make a statement on progress in the United Kingdom in quality and standards since the 1982 White Paper "Standards, Quality and International Competitiveness," Cmnd. 8621.

Mr. Pattie

My right hon. Friend today published an illustrated booklet entitled "Quality Counts" setting out the Government's role since 1982 in encouraging the adoption of modern quality techniques and improvements in the creation, and use, of standards relevant to the needs of British industry. A copy of the booklet has been sent to all hon. Members today.
