Product Recall

Debate between Lord Prior of Brampton and Lord Razzall

Monday 23rd January 2017 Lords Chamber

[Lord Razzall (LD)]

I accept that the noble Lord, Lord Kennedy, clearly makes a good point, but I am sure he appreciates, as no doubt the Minister will confirm, that if the Government insist on us leaving the single market, in future any manufacturer selling goods into the European Union will have to accept any new European Union standards, which we will have had no role in determining.

[Lord Prior of Brampton]

Clearly, if we carry on selling products into the European Union—as we will—we will have to comply with the standards in the European Union, as we do in any other market in the world.
