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

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the contribution of UK consumer representatives to ANEC: the European consumer voice for standardisation, particularly in relation to product safety.

All stakeholder views, including those of consumers, should be represented in the development of standards.

ANEC is chaired by a representative from the UK National Consumer Federation and independent experts from the UK are active in ANEC Working Groups including on product safety.

The Government published its Strategy for Product Safety over the summer and is engaging with many consumer groups, including the UK National Consumer Federation, in taking the strategy forward.
