Letters
Exchange of letters between the Department for Food, Environment and Rural Affairs and Green Alliance on the department’s retained EU law revocation list, February 2024
Green Alliance was invited to give feedback on the Department for Food, Environment and Rural Affairs’ proposed list of retained EU laws to revoke under the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023 in January 2024.
We welcomed this opportunity to engage and scrutinised the list alongside experts from partner organisations in the sector to make sure that the government’s commitments to uphold environmental protections and respect international obligations is delivered. We responded with some technical questions for Defra on specific laws which were answered by the department. The revocation list has now been laid before parliament via secondary legislation.
