Cigarette Lighters
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if the Government will take steps to ensure the introduction of fire safety cigarette lighters into the UK.
- Answer
-
The UK has already indicated its support to the European Commission for the draft Commission Decision to ban disposable cigarette lighters that do not conform to the child-resistancy requirements of technical standard EN 13869:2002 and all child-appealing novelty lighters. We expect the Decision to be formally adopted sometime over the next few weeks, and will then take steps to implement it in the UK.
