Lord Frost (Non-Afl)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 June 2026

Debate

Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products and Energy Information (Household Tumble Dryers) Regulations 2026

Contribution

The Minister has said several times that this legislation is justified on the grounds of simplicity and avoiding two different regimes. Could he therefore explain why the EU regulations on which it is based are only 10,000 words long, whereas the UK statutory instrument is 21,000 words long? How is that providing for similarity? Is there perhaps a bit of gold-plating going on here?
