Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 February 2025

Debate

Product Regulation and Metrology Bill [HL]

Contribution

Finally, I will touch on Amendment 41, in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Holmes, on the policy around the interaction between artificial intelligence and metrology. The Government cannot support this amendment. As we said in Committee, this is not an AI Bill. We will of course consider how the growth of AI affects the safety of the products that this Bill seeks to regulate and our regulatory responses to that. We will continue to work with businesses and consumer groups to understand the needs and development of AI, and what that means for the risks that physical products may present to consumers, before we consider any regulation of products containing AI under this Bill.
