To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, when he plans to publish the government’s response to the “UK’s new product safety framework consultation”, launched in March 2026, under the Product Regulation and Metrology Act 2025.
Delivering the new product safety framework is a priority for the Department. The consultation closed on 23 June 2026 and received considerable interest from businesses, consumer groups, relevant authorities and members of the public.
Given the breadth and complexity of the issues raised, officials are carefully analysing the views and evidence received to inform further policy development and finalise the Government’s position. The Government will publish its response in due course.
My hon. Friend’s question addresses a key aspect of our recent consultations, which proposed a duty for online marketplaces to take due care to identify, prevent and remove unsafe goods from their sites. The consultation package also proposed a modernised enforcement toolkit, and my intention is that future regulations will set out strong new duties on online marketplaces, backed by appropriate sanctions.

What steps his Department is taking under the Product Regulation and Metrology Act 2025 to hold online marketplaces accountable for the safety of products sold on their platforms.
Residents of Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket, like millions of us across the country, increasingly rely on online marketplaces for everyday purchases. However, the consumer magazine Which? continues to uncover dangerous products being sold on those platforms. Will the Minister ensure that forthcoming regulations place a clear legal duty on online marketplaces to identify and remove unsafe products, backed by meaningful penalties for those that fail to protect consumers?

I thank my hon. Friend for bringing this important issue to the House today, reflecting the changes in preferences of both his constituents and those across the country in how they buy products online and interact with online marketplaces. I also want to take this opportunity to thank Which? for the brilliant work it does in this space. Our recent consultations on modernising the product safety framework included proposals for clear duties on online marketplaces, including a clear duty to take due care to identify, prevent and remove unsafe goods from their sites. We also proposed a modernised enforcement toolkit, including civil monetary penalties to complement the existing criminal sanctions; fines would be set proportionally to risk and respond to an offence appropriately. We are also considering bespoke enforcement measures to ensure that online and international supply chain actors can be effectively addressed. We will respond to these consultations in due course, and I thank my hon. Friend for his engagement in this space.

Countless constituents have written to me about their concerns over the proliferation of high-powered e-bikes and e-scooters and conversion kits, many of which are bought online. I have been liaising with Currys, which is being as proactive as it can in making it clear to people through its point-of-sale material what the law is when people buy them in a shop; online, however, it is a wild west. Given the failures in the police cracking down on these vehicles where they are not permitted, will the Government consider limiting their online sales using the Product Regulation and Metrology Act 2025?

I thank the hon. Lady for raising this issue. I know that she and colleagues across the House have campaigned on this, and I share their concerns. In our recent consultation on reforming the product safety framework, we sought views on additional measures and responsibilities that are needed to improve the safety of products sold online, which included lithium-ion batteries and their use in consumer goods such as e-bikes. I would be happy to keep the hon. Lady updated on the progress on this work when we respond in due course.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether she plans to review the Appliance Prescription Management Service.
Through NHS England, the Department is currently reviewing the provision of stoma and continence products and services. This includes provision through an Appliance Prescription Management Service. The aim is to improve patient outcomes, support informed choice, and ensure people are receiving the most appropriate products and care throughout their lives.
I also refer the Hon Member to the answer provided on 14 September in response to Question 25179.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what his planned timeline is for the Forward Blood Products plan to develop and procure dried blood products.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what his planned timeline is for the Forward Blood Products plan to develop and procure dried blood products.
The Defence Investment Plan has set out £10 million to develop or procure dried blood products to improve access to closer to the point of injury on the battlefield.
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is working with the Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC), NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) and industry partners to develop a sovereign spray dried plasma capability. The timeline to develop and procure dried blood products is dependent on regulatory approval, establishment of manufacturing capacity and strengthening of the supporting supply chain.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of enforcement powers to remove unsafe infant products from online marketplaces.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of enforcement powers to remove unsafe infant products from online marketplaces.
Under existing legislation, businesses must only supply safe consumer products. Relevant authorities have powers to require withdrawal of unsafe products from supply and, where appropriate, their recall. The Office for Product Safety and Standards coordinates regulatory activity to ensure online marketplaces prevent and remove any unsafe products from their sites.
The Government recently consulted on proposals to simplify and strengthen the current fragmented enforcement framework. These reforms are intended to create a clearer, more coherent regulatory regime, giving relevant authorities the tools they need to identify and tackle unsafe products across supply chains, including products sold through online marketplaces.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, when his Department plans to respond to the consultation on the UK’s new product safety framework.
The formal consultation on the UK’s new product safety framework closed on 23 June. It received considerable interest from businesses, consumer groups and other stakeholders, including members of the public and we are now analysing the responses received. Delivering the new product safety framework is a priority for the Department. Given the breadth and complexity of the issues raised, it is important that we analyse and carefully consider the feedback from stakeholders before finalising the Government's position. Following this consideration, we will publish our response in due course.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the steps taken by retailers to warn the public of sold products that contain asbestos.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the steps taken by retailers to warn the public of sold products that contain asbestos.
Our laws are clear: the UK has a zero-tolerance approach to asbestos in consumer products. Where it is identified, businesses that supplied affected products must recall them, taking all reasonable steps to identify and notify affected consumers, and publishing information to raise broader awareness. Local Authorities are overseeing product recalls led by businesses within their areas, ensuring these are effective and follow best practices. The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) and local authorities have powers to take further action where business actions are not effective in mitigating the risks. Recalls are published by OPSS on GOV.UK to further raise awareness.
