I turn to Amendments 18 and 19, tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Sharpe. I am grateful for the opportunity and I shall try my very best to set out how Clause 2 seeks to clarify the power given in Clause 1. The requirements that product regulations may impose are outlined in Clause 2, which makes it clear that requirements can be imposed throughout the product’s life cycle, from conception and design through manufacturing to post-market requirements. Without Clause 2(1)(a) we would not capture this whole process.
