Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 March 2025

Debate

Product Regulation and Metrology Bill [HL]

Contribution

My Lords, I want to put on the record my thanks to the Minister and his team for taking extensive time to speak with me about the safety of period products. I thank the noble Lord for acknowledging, from the Dispatch Box and in meetings, that there is a need for action in this area. But the reality is that, if we leave this to the general, broader consideration of product safety, this will take a considerable period of time, when there are people today—and right now—walking into shops and buying products that will do them, and the environment, harm. This amendment, which we debated a week ago, says that there will be government action within one year. In the interests of public safety and environmental safety, I ask to test the opinion of the House.
