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

To ask Her Majesty's Government what action they intend to take in response to the report by the National Audit Office, The packaging recycling obligations, published 23 July, that expresses concerns about the export of plastic waste for recycling.

We have already committed to reforming the packaging waste regulations and will be consulting on proposals later this year.

As part of this process, we will review the National Audit Office report and take account of the recommendations where appropriate.
