HC Deb 01 December 1993 vol 233 c541W
14. Mr. Morley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the United Kingdom Ecolabelling Board.

Mr. Yeo

The United Kingdom Ecolabelling Board awarded the first European Community ecolabels to a British manufacturer, Hoover Ltd, for three washing machines in its New Wave Range on 25 November.

The board, which has recently been strengthened by the appointment of two environmental experts, continues to play a leading role within Europe in the development of ecolabelling.
