Every social housing tenant has the right to live in a safe and decent home, receive services that meet their needs, and have their complaints promptly addressed. Yet far too many still live in social homes that are not well maintained or managed and struggle to secure adequate redress. That...

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps his Department are taking to hold companies to account who make sleep products for babies that cause potential hazards.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps his Department are taking to hold companies to account who make sleep products for babies that cause potential hazards.
Under UK law, businesses are responsible for placing safe baby sleep products on the market, including where sold online. The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) carries out market surveillance and has powers to require unsafe products be withdrawn from sale, and can seek prosecution or fines where businesses fail to act.
Targeted OPSS testing of baby sleep products in 2025 identified non-compliant or unsafe items online, and OPSS acted to ensure platforms removed listings and identified problem sellers. OPSS previously issued a Safety Alert for dangerous baby sleep pillows and published messaging to raise consumer awareness of hazards.
That this House notes with deep sadness the recent deaths of young people and others in lakes, reservoirs, rivers, ponds and other open water during the recent period of hot weather; extends its condolences to the families, friends and communities affected by these tragedies; recognises the particular dangers posed by cold water shock, hidden currents, sudden changes in depth, underwater hazards, restricted access for emergency services and the absence of lifeguards at many inland water sites; further recognises that young people may underestimate these risks, especially during warm weather and school holiday periods; believes that clear, visible and repeated public health messaging can help prevent further loss of life; calls on the Government to work with local authorities, schools, water companies, emergency services, broadcasters, social media platforms, the Royal Life Saving Society UK, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution and other water safety organisations to deliver a national television and social media campaign targeted at young people and parents; and further calls for that campaign to promote practical water safety advice, including swimming only in supervised locations, avoiding reservoirs and unauthorised open water sites, recognising the signs of cold water shock, and knowing what to do when someone gets into difficulty in the water.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the Air Accident Investigations Branch (AAIB) has ever ben tasked with investigation of the potential effects of engine oil or lubricants seeping into the cabin air on passenger airliners.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the Air Accident Investigations Branch (AAIB) has ever ben tasked with investigation of the potential effects of engine oil or lubricants seeping into the cabin air on passenger airliners.
Our priority is always the safety of passengers and crew, and we continue to work with industry and regulators to drive improvements in safety standards. The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) has investigated fume events on aircraft, including research into the sources of fumes and their potential effects, and raised safety recommendations to address the issue of potential incapacitation of flight crew from such fume events.
Fume and smoke events must be reported as part of the UK Mandatory Occurrence Reporting Regulation. Such reports are analysed by Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) airworthiness department specialists to inform policy and the scientific literature on toxicology of fume events is under continuous review by colleagues in the CAA’s Medical Department.
The CAA website includes a detailed overview of the research that has been undertaken on the topic and the conclusions of a recent study commissioned by my department and undertaken by the Committee on Toxicity (COT). This found that the levels of chemical contaminants reviewed in aircraft cabin air are unlikely to cause adverse health effects following acute or long-term exposures. The CAA continues to monitor developments and remains receptive to any new peer-reviewed published research or technological innovation.

My Lords, I will come to the amendment from the noble Baroness, Lady Bennett, in a moment, but first, let me introduce the regulations. The measures in this instrument form an important part of the Government’s programme to
ensure that Great Britain’s post-EU exit chemical supply regime is robust, proportionate...

My Lords, I thank the Minister for her very clear introduction; I think at least one piece of new information was presented to us. As the Minister said, this is a fatal amendment because I continue to have very grave concerns about this SI.

The noble Baroness, Lady Bennett, is making some very serious points. However, in respect of the responsibilities of the HSE, surely she recognises that it is not just restricted to workplace activities? Section 3 of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act explicitly mandates the HSE to take account...

I thank the noble Baroness for raising what is essentially my next point. Yes, the HSE has these responsibilities included, but its whole raison d’être is workplace safety. There have been many concerns that it does not have the regulatory or conceptual framework to truly consider environmental safety either for...

My Lords, I do not have sympathy with the amendment, and the Minister is right to set out two main aims for her planned statutory instrument. It is right that we should allow certain products to continue which are necessary for wider health and safety issues while alternatives are found,...

My Lords, it is worth saying that the chemical industry—under pressure, indeed, as the noble Lord, Lord Redwood, said—is still a very important manufacturing sector in this country. It pays good wages, has high employment and, perhaps more importantly, is particularly centred in the north-east, the north-west and central Scotland,...

My Lords, the Opposition do not oppose this instrument. We broadly welcome the intent behind it. The chemicals regulatory framework is one of the more technically demanding legacies of our departure from the European Union, and the Government are right to bring it up to date to make it work...
