Labour (Co-op) — Stalybridge and Hyde

Speaking in the House of Commons on 1 April 2025

Debate

Product Regulation and Metrology Bill [Lords]

Contribution

I am extremely grateful to the right hon. Gentleman for that intervention; he always brings wisdom to these debates. I can absolutely give him the assurance that the Bill makes no decision as to how we should use these powers. The reason we are bringing it forward today is the same reason the previous Conservative Government first proposed a Bill of this kind: having left the European Union, we need the powers to properly regulate these products in this way; without this legislation, we would not necessarily have the ability to do that.
