asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will give details of the amount of cement imported into the United Kingdom over the last year for which records are available and the preceding five years; and if he will specify the countries of origin, together with the appropriate tonnages.

The information is as follows:

No. The Cosmetic Products Regulations are concerned with safety in use only. However, I have made inquiries and can find no cases of foetal material used in cosmetics in the United Kingdom.
