This Government routinely reviews its capabilities and governance arrangements to ensure they remain fit for purpose. Defra recently undertook a review to inform the development of future policy on strategic monitoring. As the review supports ongoing policy development and contains commercially sensitive information, this Government does not intend to publish the report.
