HL Deb 30 November 2000 vol 619 c177WA
Lord Lucas

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the Specified Risk Materials (Amendment) Regulations 2000 will have the effect of weakening, from 1 October, the previous controls on specified risk materials; and, if so, whether European Union rules do not permit the United Kingdom to do otherwise; whether the French authorities will offer a greater level of protection; and whether the Government will review the regulations. [HL4738]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Health (Lord Hunt of Kings Heath)

I will write to the noble Lord.
