Tories to pledge scrapping Environment Agency and Natural England
Original: Tories to pledge to scrap Environment Agency and Natural England
The Conservative Party is set to pledge to abolish the Environment Agency and Natural England, the UK's main environmental regulators, according to a Guardian report. The proposal would transfer or remove the bodies' duties on flooding, pollution and nature protection if the party wins power. Details of where their responsibilities would go, and the party's full reasons, have not yet been set out.
Why now: Abolishing the UK's main environmental regulators is a striking policy pledge with potentially wide implications for flood defence and nature protection, prompting debate about its motives and effects.
