Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 July 2025
Debate
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (Amendment, etc.) Regulations 2025Contribution
Finally, the noble Baroness, Lady McIntosh, asked whether it would make the product more expensive. Clearly, any pricing is a matter for retailers, manufacturers and producers. We think that fundamentally it is completely unfair for overseas sellers to be able to undercut sellers on the British high street and British sellers online. It is completely unfair that they can escape or shirk the costs of safe and fair electricals treatment. So, while we recognise the point that the noble Baroness makes, we think that it is very important that they take their fair share of responsibility and of the costs involved.
