Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they plan to convene a roundtable of representatives of Ebay, Amazon and Electrical Safety First to seek a resolution to the problem of unregulated sales of sub-standard and counterfeit electrical goods online.
The Government regularly engages with a wide range of stakeholders, including online sales platforms, to discuss the issues caused by the sale of sub-standard and counterfeit goods. While there are no immediate plans for a roundtable with the parties listed, officials in the Intellectual Property Office are considering options for addressing the problem.
