Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether members of the public will be able to submit complaints on potential breaches of environmental law via a complaints management system that will be operational from 1 January 2021 and operated independently from GOV.UK.

The interim arrangements will allow individuals to submit complaints from the end of the transition period, and we are developing a robust system to handle these complaints. We anticipate providing information about the interim arrangements and the complaints system through GOV.UK.
