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

To ask His Majesty's Government when they intend to publish the circular economy strategy with reference to environment, agriculture and rural affairs.

This Government is committed to transitioning towards a circular economy. We have convened the Circular Economy Taskforce to help develop the first ever Circular Economy Strategy for England, which we plan to publish for consultation in the coming autumn. The strategy will be accompanied by a series of roadmaps detailing the interventions that the government and others will make on a sector-by-sector basis.
