Again, I look forward to the Minister being able to answer some of these questions, but if he is not able to do it tonight on the Floor of the House, perhaps he could write to us. I was asked to seek answers to a number of questions. With these regulations in place, is it possible that retailers selling any of these items in Northern Ireland—I am not talking about stuff moving from Great Britain into Northern Ireland—could receive a knock on the door or a telephone call from an inspector or other compliance officer seeking proof that their goods meet EU standards? Is it possible that they could be prevented from selling or trading them if they do not meet the relevant standards, even if they meet British standards?
