Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, with reference to the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill, what plans he has to (a) revoke, (b) replace or (c) retain the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
Answered by Kevin Hollinrake - Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade)
The Government is committed to ensuring toys sold in the UK are safe.
Leaving the EU gives us an opportunity to make our own decisions regarding products placed on our market, including toys. The Retained EU law (Revocation and Reform) Bill will enable Government, via Parliament, to revoke, replace or retain EU regulation in favour of a more agile, home-grown approach.
We will shortly publish a consultation on the product safety framework to support us in determining the best approach to retained EU law on toy safety.
