To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
on 16 July (HL1538), whether, in preparing that answer, they took into account that
a component of tri-cresyl phosphate (TCP) used in some engine oils is tri-xylyl phosphate
(TXP), which is currently listed as a Substance of Very High Concern under Regulation
(EC) 1907/2006 and as a hazardous substance under Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 because
of its classification as toxic for reproduction, and that both TCP and TXP are listed
as being suspected of causing harm to the unborn child or fertility.
