The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will make an assessment with the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology of the adequacy of the accessibility of the consultation on Draft information and guidance on storm overflows, published on 16 December 2024.

Answered by Emma Hardy

The Department launched the consultation ‘Draft information and guidance on storm overflows’ on GOV.UK on 21 November 2024, with more information available at the following link:

The consultation documents are lengthy and technical in nature and so these are published as a PDF to preserve formatting and technical content. Users of assistive technology (such as screen readers) can request a copy of the documents in an accessible format by emailing stormoverflows.consultation@defra.gov.uk.
