His Majesty’s Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK Government, HM Government) is the central executive authority of the UK, responsible for national policy, regulation, and public administration across England, with shared responsibilities alongside the devolved governments of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
In the chemicals and materials sector, the UK Government sets the legislative and regulatory framework for chemicals management, industrial safety, environmental protection, energy, and trade. The UK operates UK REACH (led by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, with the Health and Safety Executive as the agency) and the Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) regime; environmental permitting and enforcement are carried out by the Environment Agency in England and counterpart regulators in the devolved nations. The government also shapes energy and climate policy, including the UK Emissions Trading Scheme and carbon capture and industrial decarbonisation frameworks, and can deploy support such as grants, guarantees, and innovation funding. It engages with industry on competitiveness, supply chains, and skills, and represents UK trade interests internationally.
