Amendment 119A tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Bennett of Manor Castle, seeks to place a duty on the Secretary of State to assess and report on the health implications of current uniform provision and rules. The amendment is unnecessary. I have just outlined our work to address the challenge of PFAS. In addition, as I set out in Committee, existing statutory UK product safety laws require all consumer products to be safe, and manufacturers must ensure the safety of products before they are placed on the market. We have robust systems in place to identify the impact of chemicals under the UK registration, evaluation, authorisation and restriction of chemicals—UK REACH —and to regulate them effectively.
