Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made of the effect of the vote to leave the EU on her policy on the EU nature directives; and if she will make a statement.
This question was answered on 11th July 2016
Until we leave the EU, current arrangements for farming, fisheries, food and drink, rural affairs and our environment remain in place.
Defra will continue to ensure the right policies are in place for a cleaner, healthier environment for everyone.
The priorities for negotiating our exit from the EU will be a matter for the new Prime Minister and their Cabinet.
