Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 November 2024

Debate

Product Regulation and Metrology Bill [HL]

Contribution

These provisions raise important questions about the lack of checks and balances. If they are not amended, we risk unqualified officials, or indeed rogue Ministers, wielding immense power over the activities of business. The Bill does not clearly define the criteria for suspicion or provide procedural safeguards for businesses that may be unjustly targeted.
