Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they have taken to meet with the devolved Administrations to discuss initial proposals for devolved powers on environmental matters; what was the outcome of those meetings; and how frequently they plan to meet the devolved Administrations during the Brexit negotiations to discuss further proposals for devolution on environmental matters.

The UK Government is fully committed to working with the devolved administrations on environmental matters. Discussions are ongoing on a bilateral basis, as well as via the Joint Ministerial Committee EU Negotiations (JMC(EN)) across a range of issues.
