Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether his Department is providing financial support to the cosmetics industry as part of preparations for the UK leaving the EU.

Delivering a deal negotiated with the EU remains the Government’s top priority. However, officials have been working closely with the cosmetics industry to reduce the potential impact on them should the UK leave the EU without a deal, including providing for transitional arrangements for labelling changes and appropriate levels of notification for cosmetic products already on the market. There are no further plans to provide financial support to the cosmetics industry as part of the UK’s preparations for EU exit.
