Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what plans he has to establish a body to replicate the work of the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety in providing scientific analysis of cosmetic products that enter the market in the event that the UK leaves the EU.

The Government takes the issue of cosmetics safety extremely seriously. We will ensure that the UK continues to have access to appropriate scientific advice and analysis on cosmetics safety after the UK exits the EU, so that products on the UK market remain safe for consumers.
