Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 June 2025

Debate

Product Regulation and Metrology Bill [Lords]

Contribution

The second area in which we have tabled further amendments is that of dynamic alignment. We have heard the hon. Member for Harlow (Chris Vince) admit that that is the very purpose of this Bill. We believe that dynamic alignment with EU regulation should be a decision for the House to make, and that interpretation must only be undertaken by UK courts, not by international courts such as the European Commission or the Court of Justice of the European Union. We took back those very powers, but in this Bill the Secretary of State is taking the power to give them away.
