Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Norman Baker (Liberal Democrat), on Monday, 21 June 2004, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 43 members in total.
DISNEY CHILDREN'S PYJAMAS AND REACH LEGISLATION
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.
