Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what the annual budget is for UK REACH for the financial year 2021-22.
We anticipate spending £20 million this financial year on the new regulatory system. This includes the development, operation and maintenance of the Comply with UK REACH IT service and staff resourcing across Defra, HSE and EA. The budget for the 2021-22 spend is still being finalised.
