Nature Conservation: Departmental Coordination
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, pursuant to the answer of 16 December 2025 to question 97320, when her Department will publish its cross-government nature strategy; and for what reason it was not published in March as previously stated.
Answered by Mary Creagh
The cross‑government nature strategy is currently undergoing final cross‑government clearance, in line with standard collective agreement processes.
Publication in March was dependent on the completion of this process. The Department now expects to publish the strategy once collective clearance is complete and is working closely with other departments to enable publication as soon as possible.
