The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 20 September 2024 to Question 5409 on Recycling, what his planned timetable is for bringing forward the secondary legislation to meet the timescales set out in Annex A.

Answered by Mary Creagh

The relevant legislation introducing Simpler Recycling in the Environment Act 2021, launched under a Government she was part of, has now come into force.

This means that the requirements regarding separate collection of the core recyclable waste streams will automatically come into effect as per the previously announced timetable.
