Product Regulation and Metrology Bill [HL]Contribution
I give two examples to illustrate why we need to do a bit more than is currently in the Bill. For example, the concept of emergency services is already in the Bill at Clause 7(2)(b) but Clause 7(6) restricts the meaning of such services to those who can be summoned by 999 calls—the sort of services that deal with serious injuries. But the vast majority of product-related injuries lead to people seeking walk-in services, not blue lights at all. Again, that is an argument for extending the list.
