I move amendment No. 38:

In page 20, between lines 35 and 36, to insert the following:

“(e) food contact materials in which perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been used;”.

This is a straightforward amendment that relates to an issue that was raised with us at pre-legislative scrutiny, where it may have arisen as one of the recommendations of the committee. We touched on the issue earlier. The amendment will include food contact materials in which perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, PFAS, have been used. Amendment No. 39 will just recategorise the items listed. The Minister of State will be familiar with the argument behind the amendments, which are both quite straightforward.
