HC Deb 11 May 1994 vol 243 cc178-9W
24. Dr. Lynne Jones

To ask the President of the Board of Trade whether commitments made to restrict the trade in CFCs under the Montreal protocol will be allowable under the Uruguay round world trade accords.

Mr. McLoughlin

Yes. The Government have always considered that the trade measures in the Montreal protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer were GATT-consistent. That will remain the case under the Uruguay round.
