Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what progress his Department has made on publishing its Chemicals Strategy; and if he will make a statement.
The Government’s 25 Year Environment Plan commits to a new strategy to tackle chemicals of national concern.

We will set out next steps on the Chemicals Strategy in due course.
