Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask Her Majesty's Government when they expect DEFRA and the Office of Environmental Protection will (1) agree, and (2) publish, a Framework Document; and whether this will be in draft form.
We are committed to working collaboratively with the Office for Environmental Protection (OEP) to finalise the Defra-OEP Framework Document as soon as possible. The Framework Document will be published in due course, once a final version has been agreed between Defra and the OEP.
