Debate

Product Regulation and Metrology Bill [HL]

Contribution

Amendment 85 formalises the enforcement role of local authorities and gives them the necessary powers to enforce accurate measurements and maintain consumer confidence in fair trade. By involving both Great Britain and Northern Ireland, this amendment aims for uniform enforcement, reducing regional disparities and supporting consistent application of metrology standards. To support this role, a code of practice may well enhance consistency across different jurisdictions and standardise enforcement approaches.
