Horticulture: Peat
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what progress her Department has made on introducing measures to end the use of peat in horticulture.
Answered by Mary Creagh
The Government plans to legislate for a ban on the sale of peat and peat containing products when parliamentary time allows. This commitment is embedded within our Carbon Budget planning and, most recently, reflected in the latest iteration of the Environmental Improvement Plan (EIP).
