In a consultation issued earlier this year a Environmental Principles and Governance Bill is being proposed to ensure environmental protections will not be weakened as we leave the EU. The Bill would establish a body to hold government to account for environmental outcomes.

<li>providing independent scrutiny and advice on existing and future government environmental law and policy</li>
<li>responding to complaints about government’s delivery of environmental law; and</li>
