Debate

Product Regulation and Metrology Bill [HL]

Contribution

On Amendment 85, I reassure the Committee that we understand the importance of ensuring accurate measurement standards for consumer protection and confidence in commercial transactions. The Bill includes the necessary provisions to enable enforcement of metrology regulations. Clause 6 is drafted sufficiently broadly to empower relevant authorities to inspect, test, investigate and act. Weighing and measuring instruments are products in their own right and are covered by Clauses 1 and 3.
