The Independent is highlighting urgent societal issues including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, advocating for unrestricted access to quality journalism. Recently, a significant legislative development occurred as the UK Parliament approved the Product Regulation and Metrology Bill, raising concerns about governmental powers to regulate post-Brexit. Critics, including TUV leader Jim Allister, argue the bill risks undermining Brexit by potentially aligning UK laws with EU regulations without adequate legislative oversight. This situation emphasizes the importance of informed public discourse in maintaining democratic integrity in law-making.
MPs voted 264 to 99 to approve the Product Regulation and Metrology Bill, which critics fear could allow government overreach in aligning UK regulations with EU laws.
TUV leader Jim Allister raised concerns in Commons about the bill's references to 'EU law', questioning whether it undermines the 2016 Brexit referendum.
