answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2022 answer text <p>Under the Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulation in Great Britain (known as the GB CLP Regulation), the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) acts on behalf of the Government as the Agency.</p><p> </p><p>HSE is considering how to deliver for CLP the requirements outlined in the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill which would facilitate a dual-regulatory regime that gives choice to Northern Ireland businesses and can deal flexibly and durably with any barriers within the UK internal market, alongside robust commitments to protect the EU single market. As part of these considerations HSE will assess the potential impacts of policy decisions on stakeholders but will seek to ensure that the provisions within CLP that protect consumers and workers through clear and easily identifiable labelling are upheld.</p> answering member constituency Mid Sussex answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 05/12/2022 16:53:13 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies
