Speaking in the House of Lords on 25 November 2024

Debate

Product Regulation and Metrology Bill [HL]

Contribution

I agree with noble Lords that the growth of digital products and AI is one of the most fundamental policy challenges facing the Government today—all Governments, for that matter. This Bill ensures that the risks AI might bring out in physical products can effectively be covered by our suite of product and metrology regulations. I have, I hope, explained how this Bill seeks to allow product regulation to take account of digital products and AI without setting itself up as the regulator of those things. Consequently, I ask the noble Lord to withdraw his amendment.
