HC Deb 22 December 1997 vol 303 c517W
Mr. Luff

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if it is her policy to ban products from retail sale if they pose a significant health risk to the general public; and if she will make a statement. [20118]

Mr. Nigel Griffiths

Yes, where that is the most appropriate way to reduce such risks. The action take to ban dangerous fireworks is an example of how law can be applied.
