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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps his Department is taking to increase the target for peatland restoration to help meet net zero targets.

The Government recognises the importance of England’s peatlands, and in our manifesto, we committed to expanding nature-rich habitats such as peatlands. Our peatland restoration targets will support the Government’s mission to make Britain a clean-energy superpower and accelerate towards net zero.
