Tories plan to abolish Environment Agency and Natural England
Original: Tories plan to abolish Environment Agency and Natural England in deregulation drive
The Conservative Party is reportedly planning to abolish the Environment Agency and Natural England as part of a wider deregulation drive. Under the proposal, the two bodies, which oversee environmental protection, flooding response and nature conservation in England, would be dismantled or merged into other structures. The plans are likely to provoke strong criticism from environmental groups concerned about weakened oversight of pollution and habitats.
Why now: The proposal to scrap key environmental regulators is controversial and touches on ongoing debates about cutting red tape versus protecting nature.
