Only products containing active substances that are undergoing that review process are allowed to be marketed.</p><p> </p><p>Once the review of an active substance has been completed and the active is approved as being suitable to continue being used, each product containing that substance is then assessed, both for safety and for efficacy. While the review of an active substance is ongoing, products containing that substance can continue to be marketed subject to the requirements of general legislation relating to product safety and the supply of chemicals.</p><p> </p><p>The BPR does not regulate the price of hand sanitiser products.</p><p> </p><p>There are no current plans to review the regulation of sales of hand sanitiser products.</p> answering member constituency Mid Sussex answering member printed Mims Davies grouped question UIN 81690 question first answered 08/09/2020 17:01:31 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies
