Public consultation on the topic is closed.

How you had your say

We sought feedback from people about proposed changes to the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code (Extension of Protection Periods and Limitation Periods) Order 2022 to add 83 new priority uses to the order.

We invited feedback from stakeholders who might be affected by this proposal.

You gave feedback through an online survey and written submissions.

What happens next

We will review and consider your feedback. We will use it to inform the Assistant Minister’s decision on whether the 83 new priority uses should be added to the order.
