To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether he plans to bring forward legislative proposals to restrict the use of (a) polystyrene and (b) PVC in plastic packaging.
In our Resources and Waste Strategy we committed to reform our current packaging producer responsibility system. We recently consulted on measures to ensure that producers pay the full costs of disposal for packaging they place on the market, as well as mechanisms to incentivise producers to make better, more sustainable decisions at the design stage and point of manufacture. This includes making producers pay more if their products aren’t easily recyclable.
We will consider legislative proposals as necessary in achieving our objective.

Diseases that attract payment under the Industrial Injuries Scheme can only be prescribed if they meet the statutory requirements set out in the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992.
Both angiosarcoma of the liver from occupational exposure to vinyl chloride monomer in the manufacture of polyvinyl chloride and mesothelioma from exposure to asbestos are classified as prescribed diseases. Employed earners who contract either of these diseases through their work are able to make a claim for industrial injuries benefits.
On the basis of advice from the Industrial Injuries Advisory Council, and because of the nature and short term prognosis of mesothelioma, legislation is in place in respect of this disease so claimants are automatically assessed as being 100% disabled and the usual 90 day waiting rule for industrial injuries disablement benefit is waived. There are no current plans to extend the legislation.
