Just found this which nay amuse you.

Our government has just committed to introducing a lead ban which may kick in in early 2030.

In a slight concession to common sense, for lack of effective non-toxic loads, they are exempting air rifles, .17 and .22 rim fires and rifles below .243 bullet diameter.

Whether.22 shot cartridges will benefit from the exemption will depend on the fine print.
If they do not I can confidently predict that no-one will produce a steel load.
