Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of using volume thresholds rather than turnover in ensuring companies handling a high volume of forest risk commodities are in scope of the Environment Act 2021 due diligence regulations.
We consulted on the implementation of our due diligence regulations under the Environment Act and published a summary of responses and a government response to the consultation in June 2022.
