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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, when he plans to publish the Government’s UK Chemicals Strategy.

We have been engaging closely with external partners over the last few months through a series of collaborative workshops as we develop our strategic approach to chemicals management. This builds on the commitment in the 25 year Environment Plan to set out our strategy on tackling chemicals of concern. No publication date has yet been set.
