DISNEY CHILDREN'S PYJAMAS AND REACH LEGISLATION
EDM number 1370 in 2003-04, proposed by Norman Baker on 21/06/2004.
That this House condemns the current use of highly toxic chemicals in Disney's children's pyjamas; further notes how laboratory tests show that they contain extremely dangerous chemicals, including nonylphenal which may damage human DNA, and phthalates which can damage the liver, kidney and testicles; is concerned that the Government has so far proved a stumbling block to implementing the environmentally safer REACH legislation by signing a letter with France and Germany regarding fears that the legislation would damage the economic interests of the chemical market; and calls upon the Government to support a simple change to the REACH legislation, that when substances are identified as of very high concern and if there is a safer alternative, the substitution of this alternative must become a legal requirement.
This motion has been signed by a total of 43 MPs.
