Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, when the temporary relaxation for night time supermarket deliveries in built up areas is planned to end.
The temporary relaxation of planning enforcement related to the delivery of food and other essential goods to retailers is due to end at the introduction of Step 4 of the roadmap, now confirmed as Monday 19 July. However, this temporary relaxation of planning enforcement has been an important measure to ensure availability of food supplies during the period of Covid restrictions.
