Consumer Rights Bill

Proceeding contribution from Vincent Cable (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 January 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Consumer Rights Bill.

The hon. Gentleman is right that the safety aspects are dealt with separately. I was under the impression that the relevant law was tightened up several years ago. I am familiar with it because a colleague who formerly represented Richmond Park in the House had a family tragedy in circumstances similar to those that the hon. Gentleman describes. I understood that the regulations relating to defective electrical equipment had been tightened, but that is a specific point that we can check.
