What discussions has the Welsh Government had regarding the introduction a complete ban on the use of peat in gardening and horticulture?

Answered by Minister for Climate Change | Answered on 26/10/2021

We are working alongside the UK Government to consult on the ban of the sale of peat in compost. Whilst there is no current commercial peat extraction in Wales, preventing sales of peat compost is in line with our Well-being of Future Generations Act commitment to be globally responsible.
