Written Question
Monday 10th June 2019
Asked by:
Diana Johnson (Labour - Kingston upon Hull North and Cottingham)
Question
to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment he has made of the effect of netting hedgerows on nesting birds.
Answered by Baroness Coffey
Although the Government has not undertaken this specific assessment, we closely monitor trends in bird populations. These trends have long been considered to provide a good indication of the broad state of our wildlife.
In November last year, the Government published Wild Bird Populations in England, 1970 to 2017. Overall, this showed that the combined all-species index has changed little compared with around 45 years ago. However, there was much variation in numbers between species, with some species increasing and some species decreasing.

Asked by:
Diana Johnson (Labour - Kingston upon Hull North and Cottingham)
Question
to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
What steps he is taking to tackle coastal erosion and flooding.
Answered by Baroness Coffey
Local Authorities have direct responsibility to produce shoreline management plans covering the entire coast of England. These plans provide a long term, sustainable policy framework for local authorities, to manage the risk of coastal change over the next 100 years.
Government is working closely with coastal authorities on a review of shoreline management plans to ensure they are up to date and using the best evidence. Schemes within the current capital investment programme to 2021 benefit from £1.2 billion of investment in coastal erosion and sea flooding projects which will better protect over 170,000 properties.
