It is currently the law that manufacturers must provide spare parts. The Deputy told me that he could not find a part for his fridge-freezer. I do not know how old his fridge-freezer was but for current products, manufacturers must provide spare parts and service manuals.

The Ecodesign Directive came in a few months ago. As I do not have those details to hand, I can send the Deputy the times when all the different parts of the directive come into force.
