Debate

Product Regulation and Metrology Bill [Lords]

Contribution

Our amendment 10 would remove the Secretary of State’s ability to make regulations about the marketing or use of products in the United Kingdom which corresponds, or is similar to, a provision of relevant EU law for the purpose of reducing or mitigating the environmental impact of products. Our amendments 13 to 15 would specifically require parliamentary approval for aligning product regulations with EU law. Our amendment 17 states that interpretation and enforcement of any regulations must only be undertaken by UK courts.
