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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if she will adopt EU risk management decisions on hazardous substances during the transitional period given for substances registered under EU REACH and transferred into UK REACH.

As an independent jurisdiction, the UK must make its own assessments of chemical risks and policy options to address them.

We continue to closely monitor international developments, and work with a wide range of stakeholders to establish priorities for further monitoring, evidence-gathering and regulatory action.
