That the Parliament recognises that Tesco Renfrew now supplies own brand junior and junior plus nappies; notes that these are larger nappies and incontinence pads for older children; understands that these are priced at £4.50 per pack of 20 meaning that they are the only option on the market that do not have a disability price tag; recognises that, before this change was made, parents of disabled children who need larger nappies were forced to purchase these online and wait for them to arrive; understands that this product introduction was made due to the tireless work of the Scottish campaigner, Laura Rutherford, who collected over 18,000 signatures on her online petition calling for a UK supermarket supplier of these products, in addition to the continence service, which she then shared with the supermarket chain, and appreciates that Tesco Renfrew can now provide assistance to any families with disabled children with an affordable product that meets their needs.
