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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether it is his policy to introduce mandatory food waste reporting for large businesses.

The Government is committed to setting a clear roadmap to a circular economy – a future where our resources are used as efficiently and productively as possible for as long as possible, and waste is reduced. As a ministerial team, we are reviewing policies to address the challenges associated with tackling food waste in the supply chain, and these will be announced in the usual way.
