Thank you for contacting me about the Environment, Agriculture and Fisheries Bills.
The decision to leave the European Union has created an historic opportunity to deliver a Green Brexit, where environmental standards are not only maintained but enhanced. I am pleased that the Environment Bill will ensure the environment is at the heart of all policy making and that this and future governments are held to account if they fail to uphold their environmental duties.
Long-term legally binding targets on biodiversity, air quality, water, and resource and waste efficiency will be established under the Bill and the Secretary of State will be required to give updates to Parliament on these.
