Speaking in the House of Lords on 25 November 2024

Debate

Product Regulation and Metrology Bill [HL]

Contribution

The Bill enables the introduction of new requirements in secondary legislation, which could potentially include all those listed within Amendment 48, tabled by my noble friend Lady Crawley, Amendments 21 and 22, tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Lucas, and Amendment 45, tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Brinton. I refer to the point raised by the noble Baroness, Lady Brinton, on who is held responsible. Online marketplaces have changed substantially in the last few years, as I mentioned earlier. We need flexibility to ensure that the right people are held responsible without our definitions being overtaken by changing models. We will ensure that the right people are held responsible.
