Debate

Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Regulations 2025

Contribution

Through this secondary legislation, we are establishing an approach that is more proportionate to the level of risk. Based on the scientific advice, we are treating precision-bred organisms more like their traditionally bred counterparts. By capitalising on the UK’s existing strengths and our reputation for scientific excellence, we have the potential to be a leader in this growing sector internationally. The new regulatory framework will place us at the forefront across Europe and will allow us to attract innovators to start and grow their businesses here.
