Mr. Woolas
To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what plans he has to revise the guidance notes on country of origin labelling for the United Kingdom clothing industry. [77898]
Mr. Wilson
The Department issued guidance on origin marking in December 1996 at the time that the Trade Descriptions (Place of Production) (Marking) Order 1988 was revoked. This applies not only to the labelling of clothing but to products generally. The guidance remains an accurate reflection of the current statutory requirements. I have no plans to revise it.
