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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what plans he has to issue further guidance to business on the changes to chemicals regulation after 31 December 2020.

Updated guidance on UK REACH was published on the Health and Safety Executive’s website on 26 October 2020 and will be regularly reviewed. This complements the existing guidance on biocides, classification, labelling and packaging (CLP), prior informed consent (PIC) for export and import of hazardous chemicals and plant protection products (PPP). This will provide businesses with the information they need to enact their new obligations.
