Consumers can only buy what’s on the shelves. If we limit production then the former isn’t an issue.

Whether a producer is prohibited from producing or selling has zero affect on the UK consumer. I agree that a ban on production would be good, but in the vast majority of cases these are overseas producers, so that can't be legislated for.

Then wouldn’t we regulate the imports.
No Asda you can’t import from X because they do Y?
Not trying to argue here, just want to be more informed.

I very much doubt that there are any products being imported - because they can’t be sold - so no need to regulate that.
The only thing I can see where a ban on production would help with is if the UK was home to a big manufacturer-exporter of straws etc. But that doesn’t seem very likely.
Appreciate thr discussion and happy to have my position changed if I’m on the wrong track
