Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 December 2025

Debate

Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging and Packaging Waste) (Amendment) Regulations 2025

Contribution

When this SI was debated in the Commons on 9 December, my honourable friend Dr Neil Hudson highlighted the discussions at the recent food and farming emergency summit convened by the leader of the Opposition and the shadow Environment Secretary. The summit brought together farmers, fishermen, food producers and hospitality businesses. One of the clearest themes to emerge was the impact of the current EPR design, with many businesses reporting that they are effectively being charged twice.
