The Earl of Effingham (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 January 2025

Debate

Consumer Products (Control of Biocides) Bill [HL]

Contribution

My Lords, if I might briefly clarify, the unlimited fine I was referring to is obviously appropriate for large organisations, which have the ability to take that fine, but as was reiterated by the Minister, it is the SMEs we want to help. For them, an unlimited fine could make the difference between entering the market and not, which is why we need to take a measured approach.
