Biography
Lord Reay spoke in a Lords debate on mercury control regulations, raising concerns about the UK Government's decision not to phase out mercury dental amalgam fillings in line with the Minamata Convention. He argued that mercury amalgam fillings are highly toxic and should be banned throughout the UK as soon as possible. His contribution focused on public health implications of the Government's regulatory decision regarding mercury use in dental treatment.

“…This issue is not merely one of dentistry; it concerns public health, environmental protection and ethical responsibility. Mercury is one of the most toxic substances known to science, as the Minister readily accepted in her opening statement, and there is no safe level of exposure for humans.”
