Asked by: Mike Kane (Labour - Wythenshawe and Sale East)

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment her Department has made of the potential implications for its policies of the recommendation in the Climate Change Committee’s publication entitled The Seventh Carbon Budget on replacing high Global Warming Potential (GWP) inhaler propellants with lower GWP alternatives as part of a balanced pathway for the phasedown of F gases.

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

As stated in last year’s consultation on the proposal for HFC phasedown reform, the UK Government, in collaboration with the Scottish and Welsh Governments, is committed to further exploring areas for F gas reform considered out of scope of the consultation. This includes consideration of policies as they might apply to metered dose inhalers.
