Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 November 2024

Debate

Product Regulation and Metrology Bill [HL]

Contribution

Amendments 66, 67 and 89 seek further clarification of the Bill’s terminology. The term “others” in Clause 3(6)(a) should be taken to mean anyone whom a relevant authority believes should be warned, such as affected consumers. Non-compliance should be taken to occur when any product or metrology regulation is contravened. These terms are commonly used across many pieces of both general and product safety legislation and will be elucidated in regulations where necessary. Consequently, I ask that these amendments be withdrawn.
