Environment Bill resumes passage through Parliament

As the Environment Bill resumes its passage through Parliament, we revisit the landmark legislation and what it entails.

As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, there was a pause in discussions over the government’s landmark legislation.

However, the government is now resuming talks over the bill.

The Environment Bill is set to transform the environment.

It features a comprehensive and pioneering vision to help our environment flourish for future generations. Furthermore, it sets out how we can and keep and improve our environmental protections.
