Products: Safety
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if he will take steps to ensure that UK General Product Safety Rules (GPSR) are compliant with EU GPSR rules.
Answered by Justin Madders
The UK enjoys a high level of product safety. As outlined in the Government’s response to the Product Safety Review consultation, undertaken by the previous Government, we will now develop options for further consultation on updating the UK’s product safety framework. Decisions taken by the Government on regulations will be focused on supporting growth across the UK. We will draw on evidence gathered through our strong relationships with stakeholders, including industry, trade associations and consumer groups when considering any future changes to product safety regulation.
