The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, when he plans to fully enact the provisions of the Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Act 2023.

Answered by Daniel Zeichner

This is a devolved matter, and the information provided therefore relates to England only.

The Secretary of State has recently announced that the secondary legislation necessary to implement the Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Act 2023 for plants and derived food and feed in England will be laid by the end of March.

Policy development for the implementation of the Act for animals is ongoing.
