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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if it remains the Government's policy to meet the UK High Level Marine Objectives.

The Government remains committed to the UK High Level Marine Objectives as set out in the UK Marine Policy Statement and to being the first generation to leave the environment in a better state than we inherited it. We will deliver this vision through an ambitious 25 Year Environment Plan.
