Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle (GP)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 September 2025

Debate

Deforestation

Contribution

My Lords, given that the UK is the 15th largest contributor to tropical forest deforestation and that the Environment Act was passed in November 2021, can the Minister explain why there is such a delay in bringing in the Schedule 17 regulations? Is this an impact of lobbying from big business or from foreign countries?
