Environmental Land Management Schemes

Asked by Mr Alistair CarmichaelLiberal DemocratDepartment for Environment, Food and Rural AffairsTabled Answered 3 November 2025UIN 85706

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, when her Department plans to publish the (a) full results and (b) evaluation reports from all Environment Land Management and Trials; and whether these will be made publicly available.

Answered by Dame Angela Eagle

The Department is not yet able to provide a detailed estimate of when evaluation reports from all Environment Land Management (ELM) Tests and Trials will be published, as the programme is expected to continue throughout this Parliament.

Findings from the Tests and Trials undertaken to date have been summarised in evidence reports published on GOV.UK (Dec-22, Jun-22, Dec-21, Jun-21, Sep-20, Jul-20) with further reports expected to be published later this year.
