Has the Minister been in communication with the Director of Consumer Affairs in regard to complaints, because my information is that there have been a lot of complaints about the standards of imported furniture, which now constitute a grave threat to our traditional furniture manufacturing industry? Such representations have been made to me and I presume they must have been made to the Minister also.

I shall be only too glad to take up with the Director of Consumer Affairs the situation in relation to complaints and, having ascertained that, to refer those complaints to the IIRS.
