Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 February 2025

Debate

Product Regulation and Metrology Bill [HL]

Contribution

I turn to Amendment 59. The Bill does not allow dynamic alignment. As a Government, we do consider the inclusion of sunset clauses where appropriate, but I say in response to the argument of the noble Lord, Lord Russell, about stability and certainty for business, that a sunset clause would not be beneficial to businesses because it would immediately introduce absolute uncertainty about the future, and we want businesses to invest in the long term. They need stability, and I do not think a sunset clause would be helpful at all.
