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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, when he expects the final report of the Working Group on Product Recalls and Safety to be published; and if he will place a copy of that report in the Library.

We have now received the report produced by the Working Group on Product Recalls and Safety which was set up by the Department to develop options to improve the safety of white goods and the recall system. We are considering the recommendations made by the Group, and are continuing to engage with them on their progress on activity aimed at improving the recall process. We expect to publish the report on the Product Safety page of gov.uk in due course and will place a copy in the Libraries of both Houses.
