Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what recent discussions his Department has had with industry stakeholders on the Forest Risk Commodities regulations.

We recognise the need to take action to prevent UK consumption of forest risk commodities driving deforestation and to consult industry stakeholders.

We will set out our approach to addressing deforestation in the UK’s supply chains in due course.
