To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he plans to meet his counterparts in the European Community to discuss product safety.

Mr. Forth

I meet my counterparts in other member states regularly. In the past few weeks I have had a number of discussions with them on product safety, including a wide-ranging discussion on the proposed EC general product safety directive at the Consumer Council on 9 November. More recently I have had discussions on product safety with Ministers in Ireland prior to the Irish Presidency in the new year.
