I voted for this report to limit the use of mercury – a highly dangerous substance. I was astounded to see the British Tory MEPs vote against a ban. This runs counter to their leader David Cameron’s explicit commitment to banning dangerous chemicals. It is sad to see that the Tories hold the health and safety of future generations so lightly. Once again they say one thing at home and another thing abroad.
