Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs written question – answered at on 16 September 2024.
Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park
Conservative
To ask His Majesty's Government when they plan to introduce secondary legislation under Schedule 17 to the Environment Act 2021; and what plans they have to review the regulations once implemented.
Baroness Hayman of Ullock
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
The Environment Act includes provisions to make it illegal for larger businesses operating in the UK to use key commodities that have been grown on land that is illegally occupied or used, but the required secondary legislation to operationalise the scheme was not introduced in the last Parliament. The new Government will set out its approach to addressing the use of forest risk commodities in due course.
