HC Deb 12 July 1990 vol 176 c342W
Mr. Dunnachie

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will introduce legislation to compel manufacturers of cosmetics to list the ingredients contained in their skin care products; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Forth

The European Commission will shortly be publishing proposals to amend the cosmetics directive and we understand that these will require full ingredient labelling of cosmetics. I shall consider these proposals when they are published.
