WE ASKED, YOU SAID, WE DID

Here are some of the issues we have consulted on and their outcomes. See all
outcomes


UK PRODUCT SAFETY REVIEW: CALL FOR EVIDENCE

WE ASKED

We invited views on how to improve the UK’s product safety framework. The
government is committed to ensuring that only safe products can be placed on the
market now and in the future. Effective product safety regulation is essential
for public protection, ensuring fair competition, consumer confidence and
supporting innovative and safe products to reach the market. Government also has
the opportunity to regulate product safety in a way that supports our Net Zero
ambitions. 

YOU SAID

We received 158 responses from interested parties. A summary of the responses is
included in the government response document.

Based on what we heard from respondents, while the current framework has
strengths, it is facing significant and growing challenges and needs ambitious
significant reform to be more adaptable and capable of responding to
accelerating change. Government recognises the need for a long-term approach and
for there to be regulatory change, to fully address the challenges raised by
respondents.

WE DID

In the coming months we intend to consult on an ambitious and multi-faceted
reform programme, with priorities including helping businesses to understand
their legal obligations by ensuring our future framework is as simple,
consistent, and risk proportionate as possible. We will also consider how
product safety processes and testing requirements could become more risk based,
addressing the impact of the changes brought by e-Commerce to the product safety
framework, including gaps in enforcement powers that have emerged with the rise
of new technology and business models.

Ensuring that the future framework takes full advantage of the UK having left
the EU, is adaptable and responsive to the challenges of the future will require
legislative change. We value the expertise and insights that stakeholders have
offered as part of this exercise to inform our review, and we will continue to
work with them as we develop our evidence base, with a view to putting forward
proposals for consultation in due course.

In addition to looking at longer term reform, the Office for Product Safety and
Standards (OPSS) is taking immediate actions, in particular to address safety
risks from products being sold online. This includes issuing a warning to UK
consumers, highlighting the product safety risks when shopping online and
leading a programme of work focusing on the safety and compliance of goods sold
by third-party sellers on online marketplaces.


OFFSHORE CHEMICAL REGULATIONS AND OIL POLLUTION PREVENTION AND CONTROL
REGULATIONS: PROPOSED COVID-19 RELATED AMENDMENTS EXEMPTING DOCUMENTS TO BE MADE
PUBLICLY AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION

WE ASKED

We invited views on removing the requirement for offshore oil and gas operators
to make relevant documents available for public inspection at a specified
address, where the effects of coronavirus related restrictions on movement meant
that it is was not reasonably practicable for the public to access documents in
this way. We proposed that the offshore oil and gas operators instead made the
documents available on a publicly accessible website.

YOU SAID

We received 3 responses from interested parties. You queried that while websites
which will host the documents may not be in the purview of the regulations, but
will be delivering what amounts to a public service, if these websites would
meet web accessibility standards required of public service websites.

WE DID

In addition to the offshore oil and gas operators making the documents available
on their websites BEIS would consider making the documents available on our
website which does meet web accessibility standards required of public service
websites.


UNLOCKING THE POTENTIAL OF PRIMARY AUTHORITY: IMPLEMENTING THE ENTERPRISE ACT
2016

WE ASKED

We sought views on the draft Co-ordination of Regulatory Enforcement Regulations
2017 which include measures to ensure that Primary Authority can operate from 1
October 2017 when the scheme is extended and simplified by provisions in the
Enterprise Act 2016.  We also asked for views on replacing the ‘categories’
system for defining the scope of partnerships.

YOU SAID

We received 64 formal responses and also obtained feedback from around 240
stakeholders who attended engagement events held during the consultation
period.  

Stakeholders were broadly supportive of the measures in the draft regulations.
There was a wider range of views on the proposed new approach for determining
the scope of partnerships.

WE DID

As a result of the consultation responses and wider stakeholder feedback we have
amended the draft regulations. 

We have also produced draft revised Primary Authority Statutory Guidance. This
reflects and clarifies the changes to Primary Authority introduced by the
Enterprise Act 2016 and the new secondary legislation. It also describes how the
new approach to defining partnerships will work in practice.
