§ Ms. RichardsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what was discussed at his Department's most recent meeting with tampon manufacturers; and whether he will advise those manufacturers that a warning about toxic shock syndrome should be clearly visible on the outside of tampon boxes.
§ Mr. ForthMy officials are in correspondence with the tampon industry about more prominent labelling about the use of the product. But I have no present intention of asking manufacturers to mention toxic shock syndrome on the outside of the packet.
