Question to the Scotland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what recent discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy on the effectiveness of the Plugs and Sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994 in preventing counterfeit electrical goods being sold and imported by online retailers in Scotland.
I have regular discussions with the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy on a range of matters. I also have regular discussions with cabinet colleagues to consider issues relating to the Government’s parliamentary business and implementation of its legislative programme, including the Digital Economy Bill, which was introduced earlier this year.
