Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what arrangements he plans to make for continued co-operation with EU member states on international biodiversity issues after the UK leaves the EU.
Our ambition to leave the environment in a better state than we found it requires joint action on a global scale. As set out in our 25 Year Environment Plan we will continue to lead international work on the environment and will remain active partners in international fora.
We remain fully committed to our environmental ambitions and will continue to work closely with our international and EU partners to deliver them.
