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.
