Speaking in the House of Lords on 25 November 2024

Debate

Product Regulation and Metrology Bill [HL]

Contribution

Amendment 12 seeks to clarify and broaden the definition of “product” in Clause 1 so that it better meets the full range of present and emerging products. It is a big ask, but one that it is important to attempt in a fast-moving digital world. At this point, I thank the coalition of consumer organisations, whose advice on this Bill has been invaluable to me and other noble Lords. The coalition includes Which?, the Chartered Trading Standards Institute—of which I am a parliamentary vice-president, the president being the noble Earl, Lord Lindsay—the British Toy & Hobby Association, Electrical Safety First and many others.
