Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if she will publish a list of those policies which are still extant and feature in the 25 Year Environment Plan but are not included in the Government's new Environmental Improvement Plan.
Our revised Environmental Improvement Plan (EIP23), published in January 2023, makes clear that we remain committed to the 25 Year Environment Plan (25YEP) by building on its 10 environmental goals.
EIP23 sets out the progress made against the 25YEP goals, the specific targets and commitments for each goal, and our plans to continue to deliver against them. Our statutory targets complement and build on our environmental commitments and objectives that will drive improvement across the natural environment.
We will continue to track, monitor, and report annually on progress towards delivering the 25YEP goals through the published Annual Progress Report, and Outcome Indicator Framework.
