(asked on 1st April 2019) - View Source
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 maintain strict regulatory control on air and water pollution after the UK leaves the EU.
This question was answered on 4th April 2019
Through the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and secondary legislation made under it, existing EU environmental law will be brought into domestic law and will continue to operate in the UK after exit day.
Air quality targets for 2030 are already in domestic law.
Permits and licences issued by UK regulatory bodies will continue to apply as now.
