I refer to the alloys the Minister of State rightly stated are almost impossible to recycle. In the case of a packet of sweets, for example, that has been given a glossy treatment to make it shine, does he have the power under the Bill to state that the mix is a bad use of materials that makes the product unrecyclable and then, ultimately, phase out its use? It does not have to be an overnight ban.
