The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits of introducing legislation that mandates full ingredient disclosure for all menstrual products.

Answered by Justin Madders

Period products are regulated by the General Product Safety Regulations 2005, which requires all products to be safe and for consumers to be provided with information on the potential risks of a product. Through the Product Regulation and Metrology Bill, the Government has committed to consult on this matter to ensure that any changes to the safety provisions of these products are robust and consistent.
