The Secretary of State for Defra reviewed the proposal for the Office for Environmental Protection (OEP) funding levels following an internal assurance process. He has subsequently set out the budget for the OEP for 2022/23 in a written ministerial statement on 31 March and is satisfied that this funding is sufficient to enable the OEP to effectively carry out its statutory functions.
