Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 November 2024

Debate

Product Regulation and Metrology Bill [HL]

Contribution

If it is the former, and there is only one standard and it is the EU standard, we are reintroducing the situation that applied when we were an EU member. All companies, whether they export to the EU or not, would have to take on the burdens of EU law. It would actually be worse in some ways because we would not get the benefits of friction-free trade either. That would be a very significant and problematic step.
