Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment he has made of the potential implications for his policies of the Second Report of Session 2024-25 of the House of Lords Constitution Committee on Product Regulation and Metrology Bill, HL 24, published on 18 October 2024.

The Department for Business and Trade is grateful for the Select Committee’s observations.

The Committee’s concerns about the use of delegated powers in the Bill were also raised by the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee in its report of 15 October

The Government responded to that report on 28 October and will respond to the Constitution Committee in due course.
