We are aware of the report by Imperial College London entitled \u2018Palm oil supply chain complexities impedes implementation of corporate no-deforestation commitments.<\/em>\u2019<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Although we have no plans to formally assess the report, the Government\u2019s 25 Year Environment Plan makes clear the UK\u2019s commitment to supporting the implementation of deforestation-free supply chains for key commodities, including palm oil, working with a broad range of stakeholders.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

We are a co-signatory to the Amsterdam Declarations, which are political agreements that aim to support the implementation of private sector commitments on deforestation and sustainable palm oil. We are also a member of Tropical Forest Alliance 2020; a public-private co-operation working to help organisations achieve their deforestation-free commitment, eliminate illegality from supply chains and improve the quality and availability of deforestation and supply chain data.<\/p>

The Department for Exiting the European Union is carrying out detailed work with departments to prepare for leaving the EU and coordinating planning. Members of staff across the Department for Work and Pensions provide advice and analysis on EU Exit issues as required.<\/p>

<\/p>

HM Treasury has assigned over £2 billion of additional funding to departments and the Devolved Administrations for EU exit preparations so far. This breaks down as:<\/p>
