ONLINE PURCHASE OF GOODS AND ELECTRICAL SAFETY COUNCIL

That this House welcomes the launch of a campaign by the Electrical Safety Council, the UK's only charity dedicated to electrical safety, to increase awareness of the dangers of purchasing unsafe goods via the internet and, in particular, shares the charity's concerns following independent safety testing which found that chargers bought from a range of online auction sites and retailers do not pass current UK safety standards; and further welcomes the online purchasing guide published by the charity, which gives advice to UK consumers on the safe purchasing of electrical goods online, and which has been made available free of charge to consumers via a dedicated website.
