To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of the safety of artificial grass football pitches.
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of the safety of artificial grass football pitches.
The safety, wellbeing and welfare of everyone taking part in sport is absolutely paramount. Artificial Grass Pitches (AGPs) provide durable, safe, year-round playing surfaces, helping more people to access the benefits of physical activity.
We remain committed to working with the sports sector to help ensure the safety of all participants in sport.
Both the Government and Sport England will continue to monitor the latest research relating to the safety of AGP pitches.
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Benyon on 10 November (HL2965), which stated that the polymere based product "is used in treatment of the solid wastes, which have a waste water component that receives further treatment prior to discharge", how the further treatment removes the acrylamide which is...

In the solid slurry stabilisation process, only the minimum amount of polymer product is used to achieve the required result. The polymer will be preferentially bound within the solid waste with negligible, if any, carry over into the waste water from the slurry treatment process. This water then undergoes further treatment in the water treatment plant, including settlement of fine solids, reverse osmosis, and activated carbon filtration, which further reduce the risk of any polymer or constituents reaching the discharge point and therefore the environment. Due to the low potential for the polymer to be present in the slurry treatment process, waste water, and the further treatment provided by the water treatment plant, no testing was required as part of the permit for the presence of polymer or constituents.
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Benyon on 10 November (HL2965), which stated that "this discharge is made to surface waters rather than groundwater, greatly reducing the potential risk to the drinking water aquifer", whether this means that there is still some risk from the water...

Water is not discharged into the aquifer during tunnel boring operations. The roadside ditch is an artificial (i.e. man-made) drainage channel, not a winterbourne chalk stream. A quantitative risk assessment has been caried out for both surface water and groundwater impacts for discharge to the roadside ditch and the risk assessment showed the discharge was, given the controls on the permit, acceptable and not liable to cause pollution to either water receptor.
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the Environment Agency’s decision to allow HS2 workers to use polymers for their work in the Colne Valley and the impact that this decision may have on the drinking water in Hillingdon and Hertfordshire, given the concern that monomer...

The Environment Agency (EA) has not approved the use of polyacrylamide as a piling support fluid additive or as a flocculant for waste water treatment activities. Therefore, there is no polyacrylamide source from these activities.
The EA has approved the use of polymers in waste treatment activities, in the treatment of slurry spoil from tunnelling. Given that this product is used in treatment of the solid wastes, which have a waste water component that receives further treatment prior to discharge, there is a very low likelihood of carry over into the environment. Furthermore, this discharge is made to surface waters rather than groundwater, greatly reducing the potential risk to the drinking water aquifer. As a result of these assessments, the EA has concluded there is a minimal risk to the water environment from the acrylamide monomer.
Where risks are identified that would constitute a potential danger to human health, the EA would inform the relevant water company. Water companies in England have a duty to carry out assessments to identify any risks to the water supply from source to tap and in doing so they are required to consider the relevant activities that occur within the source catchment that may impact water quality. They will assess the quality of raw water sources for any element, organism or substance that they believe may adversely affect the supply and, where necessary, put mitigations in place to protect it.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether he plans to encourage food manufacturers to produce tea bags without the use of polymers.

There are no specific plans for tea bags.
In December the Secretary of State chaired an industry roundtable on plastics and outlined a four point plan for tackling plastic waste that takes action at each stage of the product lifecycle – production, consumption and end of life: cutting the total amount of plastic in circulation; reducing the number of different plastics in use; improving the rate of recycling; supporting comprehensive recycling collections to make it easier for individuals to recycle.
We set out further steps in our 25 Year Environment Plan, available here:

We will also be conducting a call for evidence this year, seeking views on how taxing and charging the most environmentally damaging single use plastics could help reduce waste.
