Lord Douglas-Miller (Con)
I believe there might be choices other than the two that the noble Baroness highlights. One is that not all those substances are necessarily being, or will be, used in the UK; therefore, banning them seems in no way appropriate. However, I take the noble Baroness’s point and will look into it further.
Baroness Redfern (Con)
My Lords, since leaving the EU, we have the freedom to phase out the most harmful and persistent pollutants. Are we on target to eliminate the use of polychlorinated biphenyls next year?
Lord Douglas-Miller (Con)
I thank my noble friend for that question. It might be best if I write to her with the details.
