The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what his Department's timetable is for publishing the final Extended Producer Responsibility fees.

Answered by Mary Creagh

Pending satisfactory regulatory checks, the confirmed, final base fees that will be used to invoice businesses (producers) will be available in June 2025, once the full year of packaging tonnage data has been reported on the Report Packaging Data (RPD) system by April 2025 and verified by the regulators.
