Natural England: Correspondence

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if she will publish all correspondence sent between Natural England and her Department on changes to regulations on nutrient neutrality and the delivery of new homes since 1 May 2023; and if he will make a statement.

Answer

In line with the practice of successive administrations, details of internal discussions by Government and its Arm’s Length Bodies are not normally disclosed. More broadly, I refer the hon. Member to the Written Ministerial Statement of 4 September 2023, HCWS1003, outlining the benefits from the Government's proposed reforms which will improve water quality and help deliver more homes.
