Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (the CLP Regulation) is a single market measure that acts directly in all European Union (EU) Member States. Supporting guidance is provided at EU level by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), in partnership with Member States. The guidance is routinely reviewed to ensure it reflects practical compliance experience and continues to support chemical suppliers both small and large.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The CLP regulation requires every Member State to establish a national CLP Helpdesk to provide compliance advice. The HSE acts as the UK CLP competent authority and, as part of this function, has provided the Helpdesk since 2009. It provides a suite of webpages that introduce the key duties in CLP, and steer visitors to the ECHA guidance. Additionally, the HSE will consider the feasibility of developing an on-line tool to help small businesses comply with the regulation.<\/p>

Earlier this month, the Chancellor wrote to the Governor of the Bank of England seeking his advice on when and how the return of the Government\u2019s stake in RBS to the private sector should be undertaken; in view of the wide range of implications for financial stability, growth, and achieving the best returns for the taxpayer.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
In his reply, the Governor stated that \u201cit is in the public interest for the Government to begin now to return RBS to private ownership\u201d, and warned that there could be considerable net costs to taxpayers of further delays to the start of a sale. This is also the conclusion of an independent review the Chancellor has commissioned on the issue, undertaken by Rothschild investment bank. The advice and the independent report have both been published online at www.gov.uk.<\/p>

The Chancellor has previously set out his objectives for the banks in state ownership, including Royal Bank of Scotland. We want to get the best value for money for the taxpayer; and we want to return them to private ownership. This policy is supported by recent advice from the Governor of the Bank of England that \u201cit is in the public interest for the Government to begin now to return RBS to the private sector\u201d, and that \u201cthere could be considerable net costs to taxpayers of further delaying the start of a sale\u201d.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4107", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "West Worcestershire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Harriett Baldwin"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-06-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-06-18T11:08:33.12Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-06-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Royal Bank of Scotland"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will ensure that any review of the Government's stake in the Royal Bank of Scotland (a) includes representation and consultation with all stakeholders and (b) assesses the costs and benefits of all available options, including alternatives to reprivatisation.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4393", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Stuart C McDonald"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Cumbernauld, Kilsyth and Kirkintilloch East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Stuart McDonald"} ], "uin" : "755"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/348116", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "HM Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/348116/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
