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 impact of the time taken to publish the Circular Economy Growth Plan on objectives to increase economic growth and support resilient supply chains.

The Government is committed to delivering a more circular and resilient economy for good growth in every postcode. We have commissioned further analysis to understand the relationship between the circular economy, growth and resilience, and we will outline our next steps on the circular economy shortly.
