Proceeding contribution from Lord Lansley (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 26 February 2025. It occurred during Debate on bill on Product Regulation and Metrology Bill [HL].


Product Regulation and Metrology Bill [HL]

I will not argue but there is probably a good basis for thinking about whether—rather than including them in the Bill, I say with great respect to the proposers of Amendment 26—it would be more appropriate to revisit the question of having them covered under the Medicines and Medical Devices Act 2021. I will leave it there.

On the basis of the point that we have reached with Amendment 3, and that the Minister will have heard, at the very least, the argument for the consumer and communications benefit of saying that we are aiming to make products safe, I will leave it in his capable hands and not seek to press this. I beg leave to withdraw Amendment 3.
