asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce what progress has been made in connection with the establishment of a bureau of standards for consumer goods.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Bureau of Standards.
Consideration of the desirability and practicability of establishing a bureau of standards for consumer goods is under active consideration at present, with particular reference to the experience of other countries in establishing and operating similar bureaux. I hope to be in a position to come to a decision in the near future as to the best method of protecting the interests of consumers in this matter.
