HC Deb 13 May 1987 vol 116 cc215-6W
Mr. Greenway

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what action he is taking to stop the importation of substandard riding hats from the Republic of Korea and other countries; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Howard

We have introduced the Consumer Protection Bill which is now before the House, and which contains provisions to enable the extension of sound modern standards of safety to all consumer goods, whether imported or not, through a general safety requirement.
