I am glad the Minister is indicating the Government plans to be an advocate on these matters. Not everything is removed by wiping and there are also products that are, in effect, removed by another product. For example, there is the example of micellar water, "washing" waters and cleansing "milks", etc., that are used. In many cases these products do not necessarily involve wiping but they can nonetheless enter water courses. I know we will have the opportunity to speak about sunscreen later, and that is an area of particular concern. Sunscreen enters the water system very directly as those covered in it immerse themselves in water. Am I correct in believing the Minister is indicating his intent to advocate on a widening from the water-soluble constraint within the European discussion?
