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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, which companies or organisations made representations to the Health and Safety Executive as part of its assessment of whether to recommend including tetraethyl lead in Annex 14 of UK REACH.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) published its draft recommendation of priority substances to be included in Annex 14 of UK REACH (list of substances subject to Authorisation) in August 2021. HSE, working with the Environment Agency, published a summary of the technical rationale it used in recommending these substances. No companies or external organisations made representations to HSE as part of the assessment of which substances to recommend. The draft recommendation is currently subject to public consultation until 30 November 2021.
