Written Question

Environment Protection

Tuesday 28th October 2025

Asked by: Lord Mohammed of Tinsley (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask His Majesty's Government what are the reasons for the delay in implementing the due diligence requirements under the Environment Act 2021; and when those measures will take effect.

Answered by Baroness Hayman of Ullock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

We recognise the urgency of taking action to ensure that UK consumption of forest risk commodities is not driving deforestation. The Government is actively considering the best regulatory approach to address de-forestation in UK supply chains; we will set out this approach in due course.
