Proceeding contribution from David Simpson (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 July 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Packaging Industry.
Packaging Industry
I congratulate the hon. Gentleman on securing this important debate. I declare an interest: I have a company in the agri-food sector. The hon. Gentleman will be aware that there have been scares in the food sector in the United Kingdom, whether justified or not. Concerns have been raised about the use of recycled cardboard in the food sector because it may contain mineral oil. Although there is no firm evidence that it could be a health risk, does he agree that the packaging industry, whether it deals with cereals or whatever, needs to address the matter to prevent such health risks developing?
