Mr Richard Holden

Conservative — Basildon and Billericay

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 June 2025

Debate

Product Regulation and Metrology Bill [Lords]

Contribution

The hon. and learned Member is making an important point, which is why I will support the Opposition amendments in this vein today. Does he agree that the reports from the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee in the House of Lords are important in bringing to light just how skeletal the Bill is, and is that not a reason why we should pay attention? We should not always leave it to the House of Lords to do our work for us. We should have those debates about the future on the Floor of this House, rather than having things done by ministerial diktat.
