Review and reassess the UK ban on Kava (Piper methysticum)
Kava, also known as yaqona, is a traditional, non-alcoholic drink with long-standing cultural significance for Pacific Island communities. The UK ban dates from 2003. We ask the Government to reassess this ban in light of updated scientific evidence and international regulation.

Review the UK Novel Foods Regs to allow medical mushrooms for human consumption
Modernise the UK Novel Foods Regulation so traditional natural products with a history of safe global use can be sold without authorisation. The framework should reflect modern science, cultural diversity, consumer choice and fair access for small UK producers; not an arbitrary 1997 cut-off.
Launch a review of UK fishing laws
We urge the Government to launch a review of fishing laws, which looks into giving UK boats and anglers fair access, restricting foreign super-trawlers and fish stock management. We believe protecting our waters, rebuilding fish populations, and supporting coastal communities should be the priority.
Review and reform UK allergy laws & labelling standards for milk allergies
I am concerned about UK supermarket labels that use small 'may contain' warnings, which I feel makes safe choices difficult. We urge the Government to review and reform current laws and standards on allergy labelling to better protect allergy sufferers.
