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

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they have taken to establish clear objectives for all aspects of future environmental protection in the UK; and when those objectives will be published.

We are committed to being the first generation to leave the environment in a better state than we found it. We will publish a 25 year environment plan during this Parliament to support that ambition. It will build on our long history of environmental protection, and set out our future approach to managing the environment.
