To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of retail sale of graffiti spray-paints and related products on levels of criminal damage and vandalism; and whether she plans to introduce further measures to restrict sales of such...

No assessment has been made of the potential impact of retail sale of graffiti spray-paints and related products on levels of graffiti. We have no plans to restrict sales of such products.
Local councils can take enforcement action to tackle graffiti, such as by issuing fixed penalty notices of up to £500. Councils also have powers to tackle any persistent or unreasonable behaviour that is having a negative effect on a community’s quality of life by issuing Community Protection Notices and Public Space Protection Orders.
Advisory guidance with examples of good practice on tackling graffiti for local councils and businesses is available here.

That this House has considered e-petition 701963 relating to geo-engineering and the environment.
The petition was started by Antoinette Taylor and opened on 23 December 2024. As of 12 June 2025, it had gathered more than 159,000 signatures. Just two of those signatures were from my South Cotswolds...

It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms Furniss.
It is important to set the debate and the e-petition in the context of the last couple of weeks. Last weekend saw another hottest day of the year on record, triggering an official heatwave and accompanied by an amber heat...

I am pleased to respond to this brief debate on geo-engineering and the environment, Ms Furniss. I congratulate the hon. Member for South Cotswolds (Dr Savage) on starting the debate. I agree that solar radiation management would be a reckless experiment that risks all our futures.

I receive regular communication from constituents asking me for my opinion on the UK’s involvement in chemtrails and geo-engineering. Will the Minister reassure us that chemtrails are actually condensation trails and nothing to do with solar radiation management, and that the UK Government have not deployed SRM techniques and have...

I can certainly reassure my hon. Friend. I have received quite a lot of correspondence on that, which MPs have passed on from their constituents. I have answered written questions—which are in the public domain—and replied to queries on both those points. I will try to express as clearly and...

I hope this is not too much of a diversion, but the Minister will know that mains gas is 6p per kWh, largely imported and certainly a carbon fuel, while renewable energy is selling at 24p per kWh. We cannot get the public behind us as long as the environmental...

I will not be tempted too far down that path, other than to say that it is very much on our radar. We know that renewables are the cheaper option, but that needs to be reflected in the prices that people are charged. Today, we announced measures in our industrial...

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of limiting the use of limonene in commercial aerosol products.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of limiting the use of limonene in commercial aerosol products.
The safety of commercial aerosols is regulated by the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR), and other sector specific regulations. GPSR provides a baseline of safety for applicable products, requiring that only safe products, can be sold. Additionally, limonene is also used in cosmetics and is included in the list of restricted ingredients under the UK Cosmetic Regulation.
The government is confident that the current restrictions on limonene are sufficient to ensure that products are safe. However, to ensure that products remain safe, the government keeps the regulatory framework under constant review, including the use of specific chemicals in particular products.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 11 May 2021 to Question 496 on Coronavirus: Disease Control, whether the UK Health and Safety Laboratory has made an assessment of the potential merits of using hyrodxyl free radical air purification technologies to...
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 11 May 2021 to Question 496 on Coronavirus: Disease Control, whether the UK Health and Safety Laboratory has made an assessment of the potential merits of using hyrodxyl free radical air purification technologies to...
The UK Health and Safety Laboratory conducted a small pilot study of a number of technologies used as âair purifiersâ as a preliminary indication of the potential for these systems to improve air quality. However, this pilot preceded the COVID-19 pandemic and therefore did not focus on airborne virus control.
While the Scientific Advisory Group on Emergencies undertook a review of existing evidence on the application of UV disinfection, visible light, local air filtration and fumigation technologies to microbial control, it did not make an assessment of technologies supplied by companies. In our earlier answer to Question 496, we stated that Public Health England undertook an assessment of such technologies. However, this information was incorrect and we have amended the record by Written Ministerial Statement on 1 March 2022 HCWS648.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) accepts submissions from companies for technologies and associated credentials. Interested parties can contact UKHSA directly to provide further information on the potential use of such technologies.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the ability of hydroxyl free radical air purification technologies to prevent the primary cause of covid-19 transmission via aerosol and water droplets.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the ability of hydroxyl free radical air purification technologies to prevent the primary cause of covid-19 transmission via aerosol and water droplets.
The Innovation and Partnerships team NHS Test and Trace concluded that there is a limited evidence base on the effectiveness of air cleaners which use hydroxy radicals as a method of purification against COVID-19. They also found that these cleaners may generate undesirable secondary chemical products that could lead to health effects such as respiratory or skin irritation.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to promote the importance of ventilation and aerosol transmission in covid-19 public health messaging.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to promote the importance of ventilation and aerosol transmission in covid-19 public health messaging.
The Government’s ‘Hands. Face. Space. Fresh Air’ campaign delivers advice on behaviours to help stop the spread of COVID-19 which includes meeting others outside and the importance of ventilation when meeting others inside. The advice ‘Ventilation of indoor spaces to stop the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19)’ is available at the following link:
There have been regular discussions with Cabinet colleagues infection prevention controls and social distancing measures to limit transmission, which includes ventilation.
The Government has established a programme to consider how to improve CO2 monitoring and ventilation across public and private sector buildings to help limit transmission in the autumn and winter and improve long-term pandemic resilience.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment he has made of the effects of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering and aerial aerosol spraying on public health.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment he has made of the effects of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering and aerial aerosol spraying on public health.
No such assessment has been made. The Government has no credible evidence of the release of any matter or aerosol being ejected from aircraft in the UK, other than the normal exhaust products from aircraft.
