Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 November 2025

Debate

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

Contribution

The noble Baronesses, Lady Bennett and Lady Bakewell, asked about microplastic pollution. As a Government, we have already banned microbeads in rinse-off personal care products, and research in Defra to investigate the risks of intentionally added microplastics was published earlier this year. We are looking at the results of that survey and seeing where we can take it.
