Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to depart from the framework of the Biocidal Products Regulation (EU) No 529/2012 after the UK's exit from the EU.
This question was answered on 19th March 2019
The Government does not intend to depart from the framework of the Biocidal Products Regulation 528/2012 (BPR) after the UK’s departure from the EU. Using powers in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 the BPR will be retained in UK law and amended by a statutory instrument solely to correct deficiencies arising from EU exit and to enable the Regulation to function correctly in a UK context post-exit.
