Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 July 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

Amendment 202A seeks to ban the use of PFAS in school uniform, and Amendment 202B from the noble Baroness, Lady Bennett, is on regulating school uniforms that pose a human and environmental health risk. Of course, we want our children’s clothing to be as safe and sustainable as possible; indeed, we want all clothing to fulfil those requirements. That is why we are working across government to help assess levels of PFAS occurring in the environment, their sources and potential risks, to inform policy and regulatory approaches.
