Mr. Redwood : I have received a number of such representations. The European Commission is currently

investigating an anti-dumping complaint brought by the European industry against imports from China. The case for introducing a Community-wide import quota is also under consideration. The treatment of Chinese bicycles under the Community's generalised scheme of preferences is kept under review.Perfume Exports
Mr. Andrew MacKay : To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will make a statement on the level of imports and exports of perfumes for each of the last five years defined by country.
Mr. Redwood : The available information is given in the following table. The value of United Kingdom exports in 1991, £62 million, was 3 per cent. higher than in 1990, while imports fell by 5 per cent. to £116 million.

Mr. Andrew MacKay : To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will make a statement on negotiations concerning intellectual property rights in respect of perfumes during the current GATT round.
Mr. Lilley : The Government welcome the progress made in the GATT Uruguay round negotiations on trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights (TRIPs). The GATT Director-General's proposals for improved international rules for the protection and enforcement of all main forms of intellectual property should benefit United Kingdom trading interests. The perfume industry stands to benefit particularly from his proposals for strengthened multilateral rules to combat trade in counterfeit goods and to protect undisclosed trade information.
Column 555
Computer Misuse
Miss Emma Nicholson : To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will introduce proposals to amend the Computer Misuse Act 1990 to take into account the effect of viruses and hackers on databases where electronic data interchange is in use.
Mr. Leigh : The Secretary of State has no plans to introduce proposals to amend the Computer Misuse Act 1990. Since the passing of that Act, the DTI has monitored its application, and has not identified any features of electronic data interchange which would indicate the need for such amendment.
Bank of Credit and Commerce International
Mr. Marlow : To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will investigate the fees charged by Touche Ross with regard to the Bank of Credit and Commerce International with a view to introducing further safeguards for creditors.
Mr. Redwood : I set out in a reply on 20 January at column 58, the means by which a liquidator's remuneration must be approved, that is by the creditors acting either through a liquidation committee or in general meeting, with recourse available to the court. In the case of BCCI, this procedure will apply to the remuneration of Touche Ross as liquidators after 14 January 1992, the date of the winding up order. The procedure provides safeguards in control by the creditors who have a financial interest and by the courts who are independent of the liquidator.
The Secretary of State does not have a role in deciding the amount of remuneration which should be paid, but has the power if necessary to audit a liquidator's accounts in order to ensure that the approved amount has been drawn.
The remuneration of Touche Ross as provisional liquidators, that is up to 14 January, must be approved by the court and I understand that their bill will shortly be lodged with the court for approval.
Environmental Claims
Mr. Day : To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what measures the Government are taking to monitor and control false and misleading environmental claims on products sold in the United Kingdom.
Mr. Leigh : Environmental claims about goods and services are generally subject to the provisions of the Trade Descriptions Act, 1968. Enforcement is the responsibility of local trading standards officers.
House of Fraser
Mr. Warren : To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will list for each of the regulatory bodies to which copies of the inspectors' report on House of Fraser were sent prior to, or at the time of, publication, and the conclusions each body has reported to him on that report.
Mr. Lilley [holding answer 6 February 1992] : My predecessor sent copies of the inspectors' report to the following regulatory bodies : the Bank of England, the takeover panel, the Law Society, the Securities and
Column 556
Investments Board, the Securities Association and FIMBRA. Copies were disclosed to the Bank of England and the takeover panel prior to publication of the report. The remaining bodies were passed copies on publication.My Department's memoranda of November and December 1990 to the Trade and Industry Committee gave information on action taken at that time by regulatory bodies following their consideration of the House of Fraser report. These were published in March 1991. Subsequently the following further information has become available.
For the Bank of England the Governor gave evidence to the Committee in 1991. FIMBRA has informed the Department that it has nothing to add to the evidence given to the Committee by the Bank of England, which is the lead regulator for Harrods Bank.
As for the Solicitors Complaints Bureau, as set out in my Department's December 1990 memorandum the report of the solicitors instructed by the Law Society to consider the part played by Herbert Smith in the matters dealt with in the inspectors' report was considered by the adjudication committee in November 1990. The adjudication committee considered that there was no evidence of professional misconduct by Herbert Smith.
The same report was considered in January 1991 by the standards and guidance committee of the Law Society, responsible for setting professional standards. That Committee considered that there was no evidence to justify changes to the solicitors' practice rules or to the principles contained in the Guide to the Professional Conduct of Solicitors. The committee was of the view that any guidance on the issues raised by the House of Fraser case should be by way of "best practice", and as such was a matter for the relevant specialist committee, that is the company law committee.
The company law committee, which is composed of specialist practitioners engaged in private practice, commerce and industry, has set out its views on the company law issues raised by the inspectors' report in the Law Society's memorandum submitted to the Trade and Industry Committee in April 1990. The company law committee had no comments to make on the conduct or regulatory issues raised by the case. The Committee is of the view that professional conduct guidance on such a technical area of practice would be inappropriate. In practice the lessons to be learnt from cases such as House of Fraser will have been incorporated into the internal practice procedures adopted by the large City firms involved in such takeovers and mergers. On that basis, the committee was therefore content to let the matter rest.
The takeover panel has informed my Department that on 23 January 1992 the High Court dismissed the Fayed brothers' application for leave for judicial review of the decisions of the panel and its appeal committee in December 1991 not to grant an adjournment of the hearing of disciplinary charges being brought against the Fayed brothers by the panel executive. The decision of the High Court is subject to an appeal by the Fayeds.
Small Firms Merit Award
Mr. Win Griffiths : To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry (1) how many companies, by standard planning region, who were successful under the small firms merit award for research and technology stage I, were successful in stage II ;
Column 557
(2) how many applications he received from companies in each standard planning region under the small firms merit award for research and technology stage II ; how many were approved in each region ; and how many had been successful in stage I.Mr. Leigh [holding answer 11 February 1992] : The stage 2 SMART competition is open only to those who won stage 1 the previous year. Firms unsuccessful in stage 1 cannot enter stage 2. In 1991 there were 134 entries for the stage 2 competition, 103 of which have been successful as follows :

Research and Development
Mr. Win Griffiths : To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will list by travel-to-work areas the amounts of money allocated to companies from his Department's research and development budget.
Mr. Leigh [holding answer 11 February 1992] : The following is, for each of the last two completed financial years and the current year to date, a breakdown by DTI region and travel-to-work area, of DTI innovation budget grants paid to companies.
Please note, however, that the majority of the innovation budget is devoted to support for collaborative R and D projects where payments are made to one of the participating organisations (project leader) who distributes the grant to the other collaborators on the DTI's behalf. In these cases only one travel-to-work area is recorded on the DTI's database, but much of the money shown to be going to a particular travel-to-work area will be passed on to other companies, in other travel-to-work areas and possibly in other regions.
