Office for Product Safety and Standards

The following is an extract from the Westminster Hall debate on the Office for Product Safety and Standards on 9 May 2018.

[Andy Slaughter]

[Andrew Griffiths]

I confirm that there is an obligation in place for manufacturers to notify the relevant market surveillance authority. I will come on to how the database will work further on in my speech.
