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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what discussions her Department has had with the Health and Safety Executive on restricting PFAS in specific consumer product groups, as outlined in the PFAS Plan.

The PFAS Plan published on 3 February 2026 sets out the Government’s approach towards PFAS in consumer articles. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) were involved in the development of the PFAS Plan.

Any future UK REACH Restriction would currently involve the UK REACH Agency, the HSE, consulting on a proposal. The current UK REACH work programme does not extend to this happening in 2025/26.
