That this House notes that disposable nappies give rise to over a million tonnes of household waste every year, costing £40 million; recognises the benefits of local authority partnerships and promotions which can prevent waste; supports Real Nappy Week, 19th to 25th April, which aims to give parents a fair choice of modern washable nappies and nappy laundries, welcomes the nappy exhibition held in the House at the launch of the Week; and calls upon the Department of Health to ensure that a fair choice is available in maternity wards and through health professionals.
