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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if his Department will undertake an impact assessment of the cumulative impact of extended producer responsibility, the Deposit Return Scheme, and the Packaging Recovery Note system on the brewing and hospitality sector.

Final Impact Assessments will be published for the Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) to allow us to update the analysis to accurately reflect the January 2023 government response, and for extended producer responsibility for packaging (pEPR). These impact assessments will assess the impact on businesses which includes these sectors.
