#DefendNature

We campaigned to influence the Retained EU (REUL) Bill which would give Ministers sweeping powers to remove or replace thousands of environmental laws without public consultation or scrutiny by Parliament. We strongly supported two amendments to provide greater parliamentary scrutiny and prevent the reversal of environmental protection. As of 29^th June 2023, this bill is now an Act of Parliament (law).
