Lack of a Chemicals Industry Strategy

The cosmetics sector is often overlooked, perhaps because we are unwilling to show how dependent we are on that sector, or perhaps because so many of the 550,000 people who work in that sector are women.

Is it not clear that this ongoing chaos with the chemicals strategy means that what it actually requires is a change of Government?
