Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 November 2025

Debate

Environmental Protection (Wet Wipes Containing Plastic) (England) Regulations 2025

Contribution

We acknowledge that, for some uses, plastic-free alternatives are either unsuitable or unavailable. On this basis, we will provide a medical and business-to-business exemption. Our policy on exemptions will ensure that individuals and businesses who have a genuine need for wet wipes containing plastic can access them until there is a viable alternative. We will review the scope of the exemptions periodically.
