Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what plans he has to regulate the power level of laser pens offered for sale in Britain.

It is already illegal to sell unsafe laser pens – generally defined as those over 1 milliwatt – to consumers in the UK. However, we are looking closely at a range of potential legislative options for controlling further the sales, use and possession of unsafe laser pens, especially in relation to children.
