Lords ChamberMy Lords, will the Minister consider making sure that the Environment Agency and the Office for Environmental Protection consult other bodies? The huge benefits to mental and physical health from being active in the countryside, or even outside, in a non-formal way are documented. Is there, for instance, regular contact between the Department of Health and the Environment Agency or are we just waiting for this to happen by magic?
I am not entirely sure what the key question was. If it was about linking up across government, I assure the noble Lord that it takes place across all departments.
