Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if he will make a comparative assessment of UK and EU product standard regulations issued since 31 January 2020.

Asked by:
Ms Stella Creasy (Labour)

Answer

The UK’s product safety and metrology framework is derived from EU law and has developed over the past four decades, while the UK was a Member of the EU. While there have been some product standard developments since 31 January 2020, the regulations in the EU and UK currently remain broadly similar.
