Valerie Chairs Committee Stage Sessions on Product Regulation and Meteorology Bill

I chaired sessions of the Product Regulation and Metrology Bill Committee on Tuesday 13 May 2025 from 2pm – 5pm and Thursday from 11.30- 2pm.  The Bill committee considered the proposed legislation in detail in a line by line scrutiny including amendments to the Bill.

The UK’s product safety and metrology framework, originally based on EU law, is being updated through a new Bill which should help the UK adapt to modern challenges. The Bill aims to support economic growth, enhance consumer protection, and maintain high product standards.

The Committee concluded the scrutiny on Thursday 15 May 2025 and I reported that the Bill was scrutinised and that the Committee’s work was done.

The next stages of the Bill will progress through the House.
