We are treating wear-off products differently to rinse-off products with this legislation. We are targeting rinse-off products because we know we can do it immediately. The debate around wear-off products needs to continue at a European Union level. The position for these two amendments is the same as that for the previous two amendments. It is something we believe must be considered and we are trying to progress this as part of the European Union REACH directive developments. As the amendments are wider in scope than this Bill and the derogation sought for the legislation, I cannot support them at this stage.
