What is the lithium-ion battery safety bill?
The House of Lords is scheduled to debate the Lithium-ion Battery Safety Bill [HL] at second reading on 6 September 2024. The bill is a private member’s bill sponsored by Lord Redesdale (Liberal Democrat). It would provide for regulations concerning the safe storage, use and disposal of lithium-ion batteries.
Why do we have reservations about the lithium-ion batteries Bill?
The Government recognise the intent of the Bill and the importance of safe storage, use and disposal of lithium-ion batteries. However, for reasons that I will set out, and as I think noble Lords already know, we have reservations about this particular Bill. I hope that I can reassure noble Lords about the alternative that we propose.
Why do we need a lithium-ion battery Bill?
The basis of this Bill is about protecting the public. Lithium-ion batteries are a vital part of the UK’s transition to a greener, lower-carbon future.
How would a lithium-ion battery regulation work?
It would provide for regulations concerning the safe storage, use and disposal of lithium-ion batteries. Regulations made under the bill would be subject to the negative procedure, meaning they would remain in effect after being signed into law unless either House of Parliament passed a motion to cancel them within a set time period. 1.
What role will lithium-ion batteries play in the decarbonisation of the grid?
The flexibility offered by grid-scale lithium-ion batteries will play a vital role in the decarbonisation of the grid, enabling Britain to balance the system at lower cost while maximising the efficiency of intermittent low-carbon generators such as wind and solar—a point the noble Earl, Lord Erroll, quite rightly made.
Should all lithium-ion batteries be covered?
The noble Lord, Lord Redesdale, has introduced a timely, useful and important Bill. I am sure that it needs to cover all lithium-ion batteries as they are all potentially dangerous if they are not manufactured to the right standards and used right.
