To ask His Majesty's Government what are the reasons for the delay in implementing the due diligence requirements under the Environment Act 2021; and when those measures will take effect.
Baroness Hayman of Ullock
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
We recognise the urgency of taking action to ensure that UK consumption of forest risk commodities is not driving deforestation. The Government is actively considering the best regulatory approach to address de-forestation in UK supply chains; we will set out this approach in due course.
