Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 February 2025

Debate

Product Regulation and Metrology Bill [HL]

Contribution

On enforcement, let me be clear that only UK authorities can take enforcement action under the Bill; similarly, only the UK courts will interpret regulations made under the Bill. Regulations under the Bill will constitute UK law—not foreign law, as has been suggested —and only our courts can determine any issues arising out of the regulations. They would be our regulations, passed by our sovereign Parliament, not by some entity that is perceived to be broad and damaging in the way that some noble Lords have suggested.
