Debate

Chemicals (Health and Safety) (Amendment, Consequential and Transitional Provision) Regulations 2026

Contribution

These regulations were carried over from EU law and became assimilated law under the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023. The Act now enables us to make sensible amendments to ensure that these regimes operate effectively in a GB-only context while achieving the same objectives I previously set out. These regulations apply to England, Wales and Scotland, whose Ministers earlier this year consented to the making of the regulations. EU chemicals legislation continues to apply in Northern Ireland under the Windsor Framework.
