I welcome the opportunity to discuss Amendment 48, tabled by my noble friend Lady Crawley, and the list of duties within it that she seeks to be imposed on online marketplaces. I agree with the intent behind much of Amendment 48. The requirements within Amendment 48 —and Amendments 21, 22 and 45—are the types of requirements which the Government may consider introducing using the Bill’s powers. However, it is important that the product safety legal framework remains flexible and agile so that it can adapt to future changes, risks and opportunities while remaining proportionate to different business models.
