Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether he plans to publish a draft UK Chemicals Strategy and consult on it; and when he plans to publish a final Strategy.
The Government’s 25 Year Environment Plan commits to publishing a Chemicals Strategy to tackle chemicals of concern and help ensure the levels of harmful chemicals entering the environment are significantly reduced. Work on the Chemicals Strategy is underway and we will set out our next steps in due course.
