Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 February 2025

Debate

Product Regulation and Metrology Bill [HL]

Contribution

I turn to Amendments 6 and 11. Together, they propose broadening the powers in Clause 1(2) to update UK regulations to mirror a wider set of international jurisdictions. Let me explain: the reason for explicitly referencing the EU but not other jurisdictions is simply that the bulk of UK product regulation is currently derived from EU law. It is by listening to the voices of consumer organisations and businesses that we have concluded that this is the most sensible way to go forward.
