Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what discussions she has had with the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy on the fire risk from faulty white goods.

The Home Office has collaborated with the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy to support the Register My Appliance initiative, run by the Association of Manufacturers of Domestic Electrical Appliances. This is designed to improve recall rates and ensure a greater number of faulty products can be traced and either repaired or removed from homes. In addition, the Department partners with Electrical Safety First to promote their Product Recall Checker.
