Written Question
Chemicals: Regulation
Wednesday 7th February 2024

Asked by: Ben Lake (Plaid Cymru - Ceredigion)

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what recent assessment has he made of the adequacy of the UK’s chemical safety regulations.

Answered by Paul Maynard - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions)

The UK’s chemical regulations play an important role in protecting human safety and health as well as the environment and wildlife. The Government ensured that an operable regime for chemicals was put in place at the time the UK left the EU.

Following EU exit, the government continues to assess how best to provide ongoing protection in an effective, proportionate and targeted way, taking into account the full range of regulatory options. Several government departments have responsibilities within the UK chemicals regulatory framework.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is considering opportunities for legislative reform within their areas of legislative remit.


Written Question
Chemicals: Regulation
Wednesday 14th February 2024

Asked by: Ruth Jones (Labour - Newport West)

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment he has made of the implications for his Department's policies of the European Chemicals Agency's report entitled Investigation report to support the Commission on the preparation of a restriction proposal for the use and presence of CMR 1A or 1B substances in childcare articles based on REACH Article 68(2), published on 31 October 2023.

Answered by Robbie Moore - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

The UK has implemented its own independent chemicals regulatory framework, including UK REACH, from 1 January 2021.

UK REACH retains the same fundamental approach and key principles of EU REACH, ensuring a high level of protection for human health and the environment in the UK. Now that we have left the EU, we are responsible for introducing our own regulatory measures, and these reflect GB-specific circumstances and effectively address the risks which apply in GB. In so doing we remain aware of regulatory activity taking place within EU REACH.


Written Question
Chemicals: Russia
Wednesday 6th March 2024

Asked by: Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi (Labour - Slough)

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether her Department is taking steps to help ensure that exports from the chemical and biological materials sector do no inadvertently support Russia's (a) military and (b) biochemical capabilities.

Answered by Nusrat Ghani - Minister of State (Minister for Europe)

We have sanctioned the export of all chemicals and biochemicals of concern to Russia.

This is in addition to our existing export controls, which already restrict the export of certain chemicals, pathogens and toxins.

Sanctions and export controls are impacting Russia’s economy and depriving its military of key components, but we are not complacent.

My department has recently announced the creation of the Office of Trade Sanctions Implementation (OTSI) to strengthen enforcement and support industry compliance.

We are also working closely with Ukraine and international partners to coordinate efforts to thwart Russia’s efforts to circumvent sanctions to gain access to technology to support its invasion.
