I agree that it is not just the control of chemicals that is important but other elements of consumer protection, such as labelling requirements. It does not feel correct that for some products with similar risk exposure pathways—for example, cosmetics—there are stringent rules relating to the listing of ingredients, but these same rules do not apply to period products. This is an important area that we intend to consult on soon after Royal Assent, ensuring that the framework is sufficiently robust to address the issues raised by the noble Baronesses. I would be very happy to work with all noble Baronesses and key campaigners such as the Women’s Environmental Network in the development of these proposals.
