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 proportion of registrations held by UK firms with the European Chemicals Agency to export to the EU in August 2018 that have been transferred to a non-UK EU-based entity.

The European Chemicals Agency reported on 3 April 2019 that approximately 4,800 UK-based registrants had initiated a transfer to a EU-based company. This is out of a total of around 12,000 UK registrations in total.
