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

Lady makes an important point, but on the broader issue of dynamic alignment, are there not some issues—for example, animal welfare, which is not covered by the Bill—on which, if we want to maintain higher standards, we will want to go further than our EU allies, not dynamically align with them?
