Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of the delay in publishing the circular economy growth plan on achieving the objectives of the environmental improvement plan.
This Government remains committed to the objectives of the Environmental Improvement Plan (EIP), including the circular economy goal to minimise waste.
The EIP Annual Progress Report (see attached), shows that we have progressed an ambitious programme of reform, investment and delivery activity across the Circular Economy commitments, supporting the broader objectives of the EIP.
