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

To ask His Majesty's Government whether the consultation on F gas regulation will include a section on mandatory training for flammable refrigerants.

The GB F-gas review is ongoing, and we are in the process of developing proposals for amending the F-gas legislation in Great Britain. As part of this process, we are considering requirements relating to the training and certification for the use of alternatives to fluorinated gases. We intend to go out to consultation on proposals for reform in due course. Defra officials have ongoing and valued engagement with sector stakeholders as part of the review process and have and will continue to gather incredibly useful input.
