So I am thinking: Does the panel believe that the money and parliamentary time being squandered over Brexit is causing more harm than Brexit itself?

Hmm, well, one of my questions will be about the Children's Commissioner Report which found that children with learning difficulties are being treated worse than animals. It's a subject very close to my heart and I think it needs publicity.

That is spookily similar to one I had lined up, which was whether politicians who are dithering over Brexit feel in any way responsible for children being treated like animals (whilst they waste parliamentary time).

Actually, I don't think British Steel was because of Brexit, and I am keen to avoid anything which predicts Brexit disaster, or blames stuff on Brexit ... there are plenty of other people doing that.

I like that, and the ee question (although I haven't been able to verify what you said about 35 countries, Sal). But I wonder whether the Brexit one (or one someone else suggested about teachers) would be better???

has the environmental and biological impact of the 5G network which EE will roll out at the end of this month been fully explored? Should the sale and usage of 5G handsets be restricted to exclude young people given that they are at increased risk of developing renal, hepatic, brain and thyroid cancers. 35 countries have recommended a suspension until it can be established that increased radiation levels are safe - why aren't we one of them?

are you wanting animal based or non animal based?

Okay - it was a subject header to get you started - If I was asking the question it would be:

Do the panel members think that the manufacture of biodegradable wrappings (for example those used for foodstuffs) should be incentivised?

Opens up the debate for arguing that we do/do not continue to produce non-bio wrappings (includes plastic bags etc). Argue about the % biodegradable minimums - or all bio-degradable - (eg 50% of all plastic wrappings must be biodegradable as say, in some European countries). Segueway into the planet health - can we afford not to do this (Attenborough)

Ban manufacture of non-biodegradable wrappings (e.g. for foodstuffs) with complete cessation of production within 12 months.

Incentivise manufacture of biodegradable wrappings.

That's not really a question, more of an order!
