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

To ask Her Majesty's Government what action they are taking to ensure that, within their 25 year plan for the environment, the ways in which they will protect and enhance the special qualities of the National Parks will be spelt out, in particular their commitment to the principle that those special qualities should take precedence over other conflicting demands for economic development.

National parks cover nearly 10% of England’s land area and contain almost 30% of England’s internationally important wildlife sites. Plans to conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage in national parks will be an important component of the 25 year plan for the environment. The plan will ensure that we use the insights of natural capital thinking to develop an approach which will help guide us.
