Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, which stakeholders the Office for Product Safety and Standards plans to consult as its review of the Product Safety framework; and when that consultation will commence.
The Government has commenced its review of the UK Product Safety framework. The aim of our review is to ensure we have a Product Safety framework that is simple, flexible and fit for the future and delivers safety for consumers while supporting businesses to innovate and grow. The review is at an early stage of gathering evidence on current, emerging and anticipated challenges and opportunities for product safety.
In the coming months we will be engaging with a wide range of stakeholders, including groups representing businesses and manufacturers, along with consumer and safety organisations. Engagement will inform if and how the UK Product Safety framework could be improved to work better for everyone.
