Flint. I beg your pardon. So, focusing for a bit longer on the plastic products we would like to prohibit, research has found now that around 39 per cent of smokers throw cigarette butts—or cigarette tips, as I always used to say; yes, cigarette tips—containing plastic down the drain. The vast majority are single-use plastic, and they contain hundreds of toxic chemicals, once smoked. What we are left with is a plague of plastic cigarette ends on beaches. Quite often, for those of us who take part in beach cleans—. Oh, lordy, thousands of them are collected when there are a few of us out there.

Balloon sticks are rightly included. 'What about the actual balloons?', I have been asked. Someone has written to me, knowing that this is coming forward, so it’s good that the public are becoming aware. What about the actual balloons? The RSPCA has warned that ingesting balloons can cause death by blocking the digestive and respiratory tracts. And in 2013, DEFRA produced 'Sky lanterns and helium balloons: an assessment of impacts on livestock and the environment', in which they identified the choking of livestock due to swallowing balloon fragments.

There’s also a need to consider coffee pods. Hamburg banned coffee pods from state-run buildings as part of an environmental drive to reduce waste. Menstrual products—they generate 200,000 tonnes of waste per year. Nappies—now, this one's a tricky one for me, because, for anyone who's been a mother, going back to the old terry towelling nappies, for me, is not the way forward. However, whether manufacturers could look at maybe producing nappies with less plastic in them—because, again, they're just a blight in our communities when discarded irresponsibly. Single-use toothbrushes—256 million of these are discarded. Single-use razors—2 billion end up in the landfill every year. And more recently, COVID testing kits that are—. Well, they are plastic at the moment. Whether those companies, Minister, could actually look at—. As a result of your Bill coming forward, maybe it will make manufacturers more responsible when they are putting things together. 

We do need a serious discussion about enforcement, but I agree with everything that's been said here. This is going to pass costs over to our businesses, and I do believe that, if we bring people with us, people will soon realise that we need to work together on that. So, we need to support it doing more on using the carrot, not the stick. 

I am concerned in terms of the financial implications for our local authorities. The WLGA, Chartered Institute of Wastes Management, Newport City Council, Flintshire County Council and Caerphilly County Borough Council have all expressed concerns about resources and lack of capacity—and that's now, before they look at this.

We will be voting in favour today, Llywydd, but I think the Minister knows, as far as we're concerned, we want this to be an all-singing and all-dancing Act when it comes through, and hopefully we can work together, Minister, on any amendments that—. We can perhaps work together so that this Bill does exactly what we all want it to do. Diolch.
