Debate

Forest-Risk Commodities

Contribution

My Lords, regulations about forest-risk commodities were starting to be drawn up in 2023. In August 2024, the Labour Government said that they supported the policy and would work on it. It is really concerning to hear the Minister now say that they are still considering this policy. I know there was an issue connected with aspects of Northern Ireland, but can the Minister please say what is going on? Are they now going to change to the EU regulations which were decried around the world, or can we press on so that we can do something to help save the planet?
