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 potential effect of the UK leaving the EU without a deal on the delivery of the targets in the Government's 25 year environment plan.
This question was answered on 21st November 2018
The UK Government is committed to delivering the 25 Year Environment Plan and to be the first generation to leave the environment in a better state than we inherited it. These commitments remain in a deal or no deal scenario. The EU Withdrawal Act 2018 will ensure all existing EU environmental law continues to operate in UK law.
