On 15th March 2018 the Chancellor announced our intention to extend this market trial into a national scheme.

The scheme is supplier-led, so all suppliers with qualifying products are invited to register as soon as the national scheme is launched.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 22/03/2018 15:07:24 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
