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

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to make a statement on the key programmes that will enable delivery of the environmental targets required by the Environment Act 2021.

As the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs set out in a written statement published on 28^th October, we will continue to work at pace in order to lay draft statutory instruments as soon as practicable.

The Environmental Improvement Plan (EIP) sets out the steps HM Government intends to take to improve the natural environment. The EIP will be reviewed to include an overview of delivery measures needed to meet targets and at least one interim target for each long-term target that has been set.
