Consumer Goods: Safety

Asked by Clive JonesLiberal DemocratDepartment for Business and TradeTabled Answered 28 January 2025UIN 25506

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, how many meetings Ministers in his Department had on the EU Regulation on General Product Safety before those regulations came into force.

Answered by Justin Madders

Ministerial colleagues and I regularly engage with businesses and business representative organisations. Further, officials in my Department have been in contact with businesses and trade bodies in anticipation of the EU GPSR's entry into force and continue to engage with them. This allows businesses to raise questions directly with the Government.
