PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(12 December 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if he will make an assessment of the effectiveness of the locksmith industry in upholding standards of practice.

Asked by:
Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour)

Answer

The UK’s framework for occupational regulation upholds public protection, whilst ensuring regulatory burdens on industry are proportionate. While the locksmithing profession is not subject to statutory regulation, several self-regulating expert trade associations and accreditation schemes exist within the industry.

The Department for Business and Trade currently has no plans to make an assessment of the effectiveness of the locksmithing industry’s upholding of standards of practice.
