Harmonisation Of Electrical Plug-Socket In The European Community
EDM number 387 in 1993-94, proposed by Lawrence Cunliffe on 19/01/1994.
That this House is concerned that if the European Commission accept the standard Euro two pin plug as proposed by CENELEC as part of the European plug and socket harmonisation programme the result would be that of scrapping the safest domestic power system in Europe; notes that the cost of such a change is estimated at ú20 billion or ú1,000 per household and that United Kingdom manufacturers are faced with massive re-tooling and plant replacement costs compared with their competitors on the European mainland and a large proportion of 20,000 United Kingdom citizens would be put at risk; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to reject the proposals.
This motion has been signed by a total of 64 MPs.
