answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2020 answer text <p>Unsafe toys pose an unacceptable risk to children. The law is clear: only safe products should be placed on the market. To tackle the sale of unsafe toys online effectively, regulation must be consistent, transparent and joined-up.</p><p>The Office for Product Safety and Standards is in a unique position across Government to lead work tackling the sale of unsafe toys. However, their work must align with broader work on digital regulation, which DCMS leads. My officials engage closely with the Office for Product Safety and Standards on the issue of unsafe goods online.</p><p>Policy development for the Online Harms Bill is ongoing, including on the scope of the new regulatory framework, to ensure that regulation is clear and proportionate, and that it does not duplicate existing government activity. We will be publishing the Full Government Response to the Online Harms White Paper Consultation later this year, before moving to legislation.</p><p><strong><p><p></strong></p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 21/07/2020 15:26:32 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
