HC Deb 11 February 1993 vol 218 cc719-20W
Mr. John Evans

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what assessment he has made of whether the criteria used to test the quality and strength of British glass curtain walling in France and Germany are discriminatory and a barrier to trade; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Baldry

I have been asked to reply.

I have no information that the criteria being used to test the quality and strength of British glass curtain walling in France or Germany are discriminatory against products from other member states and a barrier to trade. If I receive evidence of any discrimination or barriers to trade, in consultation with DTI colleagues, I shall take appropriate action to safeguard United Kingdom interests.
