Lord Frost (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 February 2025

Debate

Product Regulation and Metrology Bill [HL]

Contribution

My Lords, I will also speak to the several other amendments in my name in this group. I thank my noble friends Lord Sharpe, Lord Jackson of Peterborough and Lady Lawlor, and the noble Baroness, Lady Hoey, for supporting them. The provisions we are now considering are the core of the Bill—the novel provisions granting Ministers unprecedented powers by secondary legislation to align our laws with those of the European Union. This is a significant constitutional matter that you would probably not have been aware of if you had relied only on the Bill’s Title. I will try to be brief about the groups of amendments I have tabled, which cover different aspects of the problem generated by Clause 1(2) and Clause 2(7) and (8).
