HC Deb 12 December 1994 vol 251 cc511-2W
Mr. Cousins

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what steps he is taking to assist small firms who export to the United States of America to meet the requirements of US product liability laws.

Mr. Needham

My Department regularly provides advice to small firms on US product liability requirements.

A "North America Now" publication on US product liability was prepared earlier this year for DTI by an American lawyer practising in London, and is freely available to British companies. DTI has also held, throughout the United Kingdom, a number of "North America Now" seminars, involving experts in legal and insurance aspects of US product liability.
