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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what estimate he has made of the cost of REACH registration fees paid by UK chemicals industry companies in each of the last three years.

We are unable to provide information on the costs of registrations as the fee structure for registration depends on a number of different factors. For example, the fee structure for registration is determined by both the size of the registrant company and the tonnage band of registration. We do not have access to the data to analyse the registrations further to be able to assign costs.
