(View all Samantha Dixon's Defra questions)The Health and Safety Executive is currently reassessing glyphosate to determine whether it continues to meet strict approval criteria.
Defra is working through the implications of the transition from the current pesticides regulatory system in Great Britain to a new one defined by the UK-EU Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) agreement under negotiation. The department cannot comment further on the SPS agreement as negotiations are ongoing.
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)
The requirement to pay Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) for complete calendar months is set out in law. VED is issued from the first of each month and refunds are issued for only the full months remaining on a vehicle licence. Licensing and refunding vehicles from a date other than the first of the month would add a large amount of administrative complexity to the vehicle tax system, increasing costs to the taxpayer.
The government has no plans to change how VED payments are administered in this way, but we welcome representations from stakeholders about how the tax system can be improved. The Chancellor makes decisions on tax policy at fiscal events in the context of the public finances.
