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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether it is his policy to maintain the contents of the EU Timber Regulation after it is transposed into UK law.

The European Union (Withdrawal) Bill will include provisions to ensure existing EU environmental law continues to have effect in UK law, including the EU Timber Regulation. This will ensure that, wherever possible, the same rules and laws will apply the day after exit as they did before.
